A wood fence is a significant investment in your property, and protecting it from the Bahamian elements is essential if you want it to last. The two most common options are fence stain and fence paint, and the debate between them is one of the most frequent questions we hear at Sherwin-Williams Bahamas.

Wood is a beautiful and versatile material, but in the Bahamas it faces a relentless assault from the elements. Intense UV radiation, heavy tropical rains, persistent humidity, and salt air all work together to gray, crack, and decay unprotected wood surfaces faster than in almost any other climate.

Rust is one of the most common and destructive problems facing metal surfaces in the Bahamas. The combination of salt air, high humidity, and intense heat creates near-perfect conditions for corrosion to take hold and spread quickly.

Your roof is the most exposed surface on your entire home. In the Bahamas, it absorbs direct tropical sun for most of the day, driving heat down into your living spaces and forcing your air conditioning to work harder than it should.

The right waterproof paint for wood creates a durable barrier that keeps moisture out, maintains the appearance of the wood, and extends the life of decks, siding, fences, pergolas, and outdoor furniture by years.

If you want paint on metal to actually last, you need to understand how to paint metal correctly from start to finish.
