Stable Coat gallops on to the website!

Protek has a long tradition of supplying wood treatment to stable manufacturers. We increasingly found we were being asked to supply the same product to stable owners so they could, when the time came, re-treat their stable in the same animal safe and environmentally sound product. Protek is a family run business, a family that are enthusiastic horse owners and understand what kind of product is required for the busy stable yard. The product must be safe, quick and easy to use but give a finish that is attractive, high performing and long lasting.

Protek Stable coat is available in three traditional colours, Golden Brown, Dark Brown and the dramatic Black. Protek Stable Coat is also offered in a Clear. It is recommended that if you have a pressure treated stable that you apply a quick thin coat to give your stables ultra-high water repellency. It will also help make your stables look cleaner and newer for longer.

Protek Stable Coat is a water-based micro-porous acrylic coating that incorporates a ultra-high performance water repellency additive that uses nanotechnology to deliver an extreme hydrophobic layer of protection. Protek Stable Coat offers excellent long-term protection for stables. The coating is also resistant to mould and fungal attack.

Protek Stable Coat is supplied as a ready to use solution in 5 and 25 litre containers>

Price £25 for 5 litres, £90 for 25 litres including VAT + delivery charge. Delivery is standard 3 working days to main UK locations. Please check our delivery terms for prices.

Golden Brown joins Shed & Fence range

Golden Brown Shed & Fence paint has been a firm favourite for our trade customers for years and it is now available in our retail range. It is the most popular colour for treating stables and all of our stable manufacturers use it, although they use the Stable Coat formulation specifically designed for stables and animal housing. Stable Coat will also be available on the website soon.

As the name suggests it is a beautiful golden brown that looks warm and rich painted on timber. This traditional and versatile shade suits all types of exterior timber from fences and sheds to trellises and planters.

Shed & Fence Wood Treatment is a waterproof wood stain that is long lasting and enhances the natural beauty of wood. Protek Shed & Fence paint is a cost effective wood stain that can be applied to planed (finished) as well as rough sawn timber, offering great coverage of up to 12m2per litre.

January - This Month’s Colours

January heralds the beginning of a new year with a chance to reflect on the last and look forward to the coming months. 2011 was an exciting year for Protek seeing our retail range expand greatly with fantastic new products such as Royal Interior & Exterior and Stable Coat.

Technological advances saw improvements to all of our ranges and provided inspirational formulations for new products. Shed & Fence and Decking Stain were both re-formulated to perform even better and be more environmentally friendly than they already were.

New colours were also added to all of our ranges including Wood Protector that now boasts 32 colours, from traditional wood shades to bright purple and pink, contemporary sage and popular greys. Royal leads as our most comprehensive colour range with over 50 shades!

In celebration of a successful 2011 this month’s colours showcase the leading sellers from Decking Stain, Royal, Shed & Fence and Wood Protector.

Sheds Win Prizes - Competition Results

We had such a great response to our competition that we just had to extend the winners to include 3 of our favourites.

Rory Caffyn-Parsons of Farnham in Surrey won first prize with his pictures of his pool huts. The inspiration for colours came from his wife who selected a combination of Amaranth, Cranberry Crush, Marigold, Parsonage Cream, Peacock Blue & Spruce from the Wood Protector range. The concept was to create pool changing huts from some basic sheds with a fun and vibrant beach hut theme. Although there were doubts as to whether the colour scheme would work, when painting was completed Rory’s wife was proved right and they look fantastic!

Runners up prizes of 20% discount vouchers for our website were awarded to Andy Roberts of Deal in Kent and Alleyne Barlow from Plymouth in Devon.

The next competition will open on January 1st 2012 and run until mid-march 2012 although projects can have taken place prior to the opening date. Look out for prize info in the next newsletter or on the website homepage.

“Dear Protek Wood Stain folks, On Monday afternoon I ordered five litres of American Barn Red Woodstain. It arrived before 10 am Tuesday, and by the afternoon I had coated my garden building.  You folks are fast and efficient, and I thank you very much!  Amazing service, so swift between Somerset and north Norfolk.  And I love the color of the woodstain.  I will definitely order from you again.  I just wanted to say how pleased I was, both with your product and with your service. Thanks!”
