In addition, PPG’s latest innovation, Olympic SmartGuard will
soon be available at select U.S. Home Depot stores in time for the
spring season. A first-of-its-kind product in North America,
Olympic SmartGuard aims to take the hassle out of weekend projects
with a super-concentrated formula in a lightweight, easy-to-handle
pouch package. Drying in as little as one hour after application,
as compared to 24-48 hours for traditional products, it provides a
durable, super water-resistant seal. Unlike traditional stain
products, there is no brushing required – easy spray-on application
allows homeowners to spend less time applying and more time
enjoying their outdoor living space.
“We’re extremely pleased to expand the breadth of our product
line with Olympic stains by PPG to give our customers even more
selection, innovation and value,” said Jose Barra, The Home Depot
senior vice president – Merchandising, Décor.
“Olympic has been America’s most trusted stain brand since 1938
and is rated among the top stains by a leading independent consumer
rankings magazine,” said Dave Cole, PPG vice president,
architectural coatings, U.S. and Canada. “We are pleased to grow
our partnership with The Home Depot and offer their customers an
array of high-quality, well-respected products.”
In addition to Olympic SmartGuard, the Olympic product line that
will be available at The Home Depot includes:
- Olympic Maximum Stain + Sealant in
One with WEATHER-READY® application** that enables homeowners to
stain when they want to, even if the weather isn’t perfect. The
product is rain-ready 8-12 hours after application, 12-16 hours
faster than typical stain products, so homeowners no longer have to
be concerned their completed project will be harmed by
unpredictable weather. In addition to its rain-ready
features, Olympic Maximum stain’s unique formula offers a
wide range of application temperatures, from 35 F to 90 F, and can
also be applied to damp wood*.
- Olympic ELITE Advanced Stain + Sealant
in One: a super-premium exterior stain line offering a palette of
wood- and nature-inspired hues. 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 is for the
homeowner who appreciates the beauty of wood and is willing to
invest a bit more to enhance and protect with beautiful and more
durable color.
- Olympic WaterGuard: penetrating,
advanced multi-surface sealant that protects against water damage
and creates a mildew-resistant coating. The clear multi-surface
waterproofer is formulated to be applied on a variety of
substrates, including concrete, brick, stucco and wood. Olympic
WaterGuard is available in a clear wood sealer, and in a selection
of ready-mix colors in transparent and semi-transparent
opacities.
The addition of Olympic stain products expands the PPG product
lineup at The Home Depot stores including PPG premium paints,
GLIDDEN® paints and LIQUID NAILS® adhesives.
