Wood Coatings & Paint for the Forestry Industry | Cloverdale Paint

In the forestry industry, wood is everywhere — from raw timber and lumber to structural wood in equipment and storage facilities. Cloverdale Paint offers a comprehensive range of industrial wood coatings to help forestry professionals protect and preserve wood in harsh outdoor environments.

Whether you're protecting milled lumber, coating wood decks on equipment, or finishing wood structures in logging camps and mills, our coatings offer superior protection, appearance, and performance.

Coatings & Products Provided

Cloverdale Paint manufactures wood coatings specifically engineered for industrial use, including forestry and wood products operations. Our formulations address key threats to wood: moisture, UV exposure, rot, fungal growth, and physical wear.

Wood Coating Types:

  • Acrylic Wood Stains (Water-Based): Penetrating finishes that offer excellent UV protection, breathability, and colour retention.
  • Alkyd Wood Stains (Oil-Based): Deeply penetrating stains with strong water repellency, ideal for dimensional lumber and exposed wood surfaces.
  • Clear Wood Sealers: Transparent coatings that prevent moisture intrusion and surface checking while preserving wood’s natural grain.
  • Industrial Wood Primers: Improve adhesion and durability for topcoats on structural wood and finished components.
  • Topcoats for Wood (Acrylic, Polyurethane): Provide a durable protective layer against abrasion, chemicals, and weathering.
  • Fire-Retardant Wood Coatings: For wood used in structures requiring safety compliance in wildfire-prone areas.
