Gori 88 Compact wood paint opaque exterior satin-gloss polar white

Description

Gori 88 Compact wood paint is an opaque wood paint based on alkyd resin for exterior timber components. The solvent-based paint in shade 8855 polar white dries to a satin finish, has a non-drip formulation and protects dimensionally stable and partially dimensionally stable components such as windows and exterior doors as well as timber façades and soffits. Available in a 0.75 l tin and in 2.5 l and 5 l buckets – for painters, timber builders and experienced DIYers.

Benefits at a glance

  • Bright white on dark wood: covers weathered or dark timber and is suitable for opaque renovation of old wood stain coats.
  • Clean application: gel-like, non-drip consistency – even on window frames and soffits.
  • Weather protection: water-repellent, moisture-regulating, with UV protection and good lightfastness.
  • High coverage: approx. 100 ml/m² per coat, i.e. around 10 m² per litre.
  • Easy to care for: resistant to cleaning agents and disinfectants, tested to DIN 68861-1 (1B) in conjunction with EN 12720.

Areas of application

  • Timber windows and exterior doors (dimensionally stable components)
  • Shiplap cladding, timber façades and wooden shingles
  • Soffits, half-timbering and gable cladding
  • Opaque renovation of sound wood stain and paint coats

Limits & notes

Not for terrace and balcony floors or garden decking tiles – surfaces that are walked on need a wood oil or a floor coating. The paint only provides film protection and no chemical wood preservation: softwoods at risk of blue stain such as spruce, fir or pine sapwood are treated beforehand with a wood preservative primer. Avoid direct contact with alkaline renders. If you are looking for a water-based alternative, choose a water-thinnable weather protection paint.
