Olympic Stain goes 'Elite'

Olympic Paint and Stain launched Olympic Elite Advanced Stain + Sealant in One, an exterior stain line offering a new palette of wood- and nature-inspired hues.

The product is available exclusively at Lowe’s stores.

Developed for durability and incorporating Olympic Stains’ highest levels of protection against the damaging effects of sunlight, water, mildew and algae on the coating, Olympic Elite targets the homeowner who appreciates the beauty of wood and is willing to invest a bit more to enhance and protect with more beautiful and durable color, the company said.

The new Elite line introduces Woodland Oil -- a series of super-pigmented, super-penetrating semi-transparent stains in Natural, Mahogany Blaze, Kona Brown and a gold-brown hue called “Mountain Cedar.”

"Woodland Oil penetrates quickly, even on exotic hardwoods. Elite also adds a semi-solid stain to the Olympic line, a bridge between semi-transparent and solid color for wood with more imperfections,” said Nicole Jones, senior brand manager, Olympic Paint and Stain. “The deck has become an extension of the interior living space into the outdoors -- an exterior room for entertaining and relaxing.”
