Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Cuprinol stain last?

Depending on the product, Cuprinol stains typically provide protection for 2-6 years. Ducksback offers up to 5 years' protection, whilst decking stains generally last 2-3 years depending on foot traffic and exposure. For best results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and properly prepared before application.

Can I apply Cuprinol stain over existing treatments?

This depends on the previous treatment. Cuprinol stains can usually be applied over similar stain-based products once the surface is clean and dry. However, painted or varnished surfaces require stripping back to bare wood. Always check the specific product instructions for compatibility guidance.

What's the coverage rate for Cuprinol stains?

Coverage varies by product and wood type, but typically ranges from 4-7 square metres per litre on smooth planed timber, and 2-4 square metres per litre on rough or porous surfaces. Always apply two coats for optimal protection and colour depth.
