The right product for every exterior surface
Lignodur is the complete Brillux range of wood coatings: it protects wood against weathering and environmental influences while caring for it at the same time. Every component gets its own character – with a natural wood look, lightly tinted with visible grain or fully opaque.
For opaque lacquered windows and doors and for metal, weather-resistant lacquers and primers complete the range.
Depending on the product, the range offers:
- water-based or solvent-based
- matt, satin matt or satin gloss
- translucent, opaque or oiled
- for dimensionally stable, partly stable and non-stable components
- many products optionally in Protect quality
- a wide choice of stain shades and opaque colours
Our range for exterior wood & metal
Water-based
Water-based stains
Fast-drying and low-odour: Grenodecor 236 gives wood a matt, natural look. The hybrid stain TopGuard 280 provides a satin-gloss finish with high colour stability and UV and weather resistance.
Solvent-based
Solvent-based stains
The classics for hardwood and softwood: pleasant to apply and particularly weatherproof – from the drip-free gel stain for overhead work to the thick-film stain for windows and doors.

Opaque wood paints
Wood paints give facades, soffits, fences and carports a new character. FlexGuard 871 is highly weather-resistant and elastic, SolvoGuard 885 preserves the wood structure and can be opaque or translucent.
Oiled
Wood oils
Wood care without film formation: the linseed-oil-based oils underline the character of the wood, emphasise the grain and create a water-beading effect.

What does „dimensionally stable“ mean?
Components that must keep their exact shape – e.g. windows and front doors.
Components with some tolerance – e.g. tongue-and-groove cladding, soffits, shutters, garden sheds.
Components without precise fit – e.g. fences, carports, pergolas and overlapping boards.
Protect quality
Many Lignodur products are also available in Protect quality: with film protection against algae and fungal growth on the coating – useful in shady and damp locations.
