We are here to help you with your TWP exterior deck or wood restoration project!
TWP is a cutting-edge wood preservative and protectant registered by the EPA, designed to provide exceptional protection for exterior wood surfaces. However, its performance and longevity can vary based on several factors, including the type and age of the wood, how well it is prepared, and the application technique used.
To ensure the best possible results with TWP 100, 1500, or 200 Series, proper preparation and application are key. Follow recommended guidelines to maximize the durability and beauty of your wood surface, no matter which TWP series you choose.

Hi my name is Andrew Haufler. I am looking at staining my deck this summer in Ohio. I would like a stain that is durable and doesn’t show leaf stains. I am looking for a dark color for our deck. What stain product would you recommend as well as colors.
Look at the TWP 1500 Series in the Dark Oak or the Black Walnut colors.
