What is Yacht Varnish?

Nowadays, this type of product is more commonly used for exterior household projects, when you are looking to give timber a high-gloss finish that lasts.

Once applied, Ronseal Trade Yacht Varnish is tough and will protect timber against everyday knocks and scratches as well as harsh weather conditions to prevent cracking, peeling and blistering. What’s more, it is formulated to protect the wood from the damaging effects of the sun and prevent it from discolouring, fading or greying over time. This makes it ideal for features such as wooden pergolas, doors and window frames that are exposed to the elements all year round and ensures that they will last for years to come.
