Backyard chic
(NC)—The backyard has come a long way. It's no longer just a place to barbecue hamburgers and hotdogs on weekends and holidays. These days it's about “outdoor living”. With the introduction of high-end outdoor furniture, luxury grilling kitchens and fireplaces, the backyard has become a harmonious extension of the home.
“An increasing number of Canadians are looking to extend their home decor outdoors in an attempt to harmonize their living spaces and bring beauty and luxury to their exteriors,” explained Stéphanie Pelland, marketing communication manager for the Sico retail brand.
The challenge in transforming backyards and patios into designer rooms, she added, is to ensure a seamless transition from the indoor to the exterior decor. To answer this need, Sico offers a high-performing line of stains, including a translucent, high-end exterior wood finish designed to bring the richness of interior wood outside, creating a pleasant flow throughout your living spaces.
“Outdoor entertaining is a growing trend, and market studies show that more and more consumers are looking for luxury products to help beautify their exterior living spaces, from built-in barbeques to garden furniture to accessories, and wood stains are no exception,” said Pelland. “Sico's coating adds lavishness to a property by delivering a luxurious, exceptional wood finish that's high end, both in looks and performance.”
Referring to the Exterior Translucent Wood Finish as “the ultimate choice for exterior wood,” Pelland explains that the product is made using an advanced technology that gives surfaces a lush, wet look, appearing as though they've been varnished. It also contains unique, nano-size pigments and ultraviolet ray absorbers that provide maximum protection against sun damage so the wood grains are completely visible yet well shielded.
Incorporating advanced alkyd resins, Pelland says the new translucent wood finish has been demonstrated to maintain its wet look with low maintenance on all exterior wood surfaces – from decks, siding, fences and railings, to shutters, doors, windows, and outdoor furniture.
