Sherwin-Williams has introduced the Minwax Performance Series, an extension of the Minwax products, along with a redesigned color palette and interior stain design center.
The Minwax Performance Series includes three staining solutions: Tintable Wood Stain, Fast-Dry Varnish, and Fast-Dry Sanding Sealer. The line, updated color palette and the ability to tint custom colors are available at Sherwin-Williams stores and are part of an interior stain design center.
Interior Stain Design Center
This system helps to plan for any interior wood staining project. The display includes wood chip samples to help both pros and DIY customers envision the final result. It is organized by the project process of Prepare, Stain and Protect and simplifies product and color selection for everyone.
Color Palette
An updated 48-color palette is now available for both the Minwax Performance Series Tintable Wood Stain and Minwax Water-Based Tintable Wood Stain. Combining classic selections and modern additions, the palette helps to choose the right color for any interior staining project.
Tintable Wood Stain
While conventional stains are only available in prepackaged colors, the Minwax Performance Series Tintable Wood Stain can be tinted in an array of colors, allowing for design flexibility. In addition to the 48-color palette, the product is available in custom and stain-matched hues. It can also be recoated in two to six hours, compared with 18 to 24 hours for conventional stains. The thicker formula provides a lasting finish and causes less dripping, saving time on clean-up. Tintable Wood Stain is also available in a lower VOC version.
Fast-Dry Varnish
Dry to the touch in 30 minutes, Minwax Performance Series Fast-Dry Varnish provides an amber finish to seal and protect projects. The varnish allows the texture of the wood to show through, preserving its character. It is also formulated for an industry-leading three-hour recoat time, making it possible to finish projects in one day.
Fast-Dry Sanding Sealer
The Minwax Performance Series Fast-Dry Sanding Sealer can be applied between the stain and varnish, and sands after one hour to give projects a smoother finish in less time. A benefit to beginners and experienced painters alike, the sealer is forgiving of application inconsistencies.
All three Minwax Performance Series products are now available at Sherwin-Williams stores nationwide. For more information about this wood-finishing system from Minwax, visit the website.
