Product Information

technology with added fungicides, algaecides and Permethrin to actively kill and protect against all

I recently used this wood preserver on my garden shed, and the results have been impressive. The low-odour oil/spirit formula allowed me to work comfortably without any overwhelming smell. The application process was smooth and straightforward, and the wood absorbed the preserver well, giving it a beautiful semi-transparent finish. Next, consider whether you need an indoor or outdoor wood preserver; some products are specifically designed for one location or the other. Indoor wood preservers often prioritise protection against humidity and insects, while outdoor-focused products might have added protection against harsh weather conditions. Applicability and Drying TimeFirstly, it’s essential to choose a wood preserver that offers comprehensive protection against the elements, including moisture, UV rays, and fungi. A high-quality wood preserver should extend the longevity of your wood by shielding it from these common threats. Indoor vs Outdoor Use

You may have to pay more than the cheaper or disposable options on the market, but you will be thankful if a near miss or accident occurs and it was your PPE that reduced or avoided the injury. Work Boots

SikaGard Wood Preserver protects timber from all types of wood rot, mould and wood-staining fungi. It can be used internally and externally. Having tools with excellent durability is extremely important. Not only will it mean you will not have to spend out on replacement tools when they break prematurely, but because tougher tools will do a better job. Sometimes cheaper ones can appear to work great until wear and damage suddenly make them unusable, and you are left unable to complete your task. This will lead to an extended work period as you will have to go out and buy a replacement. If you use that tool as part of your profession, it could mean the difference between hitting your deadline or not. No matter what kind of job you have or how you’re using the equipment, make sure your tools can stand up to the task in the first place. Like paint, wood preservers come in solvent-based and water-based varieties. Each type has advantages and disadvantages.

There is a long list of brands that excel in specific tools, but don’t do so well with others. One company that is fantastic across the board is Screwfix. Finally, the Sika Sikagard is suitable for both internal and external use, making it versatile for various projects like roof timbers, window frames, and door frames. Just remember to test it on a small area first to ensure compatibility with the type of wood being treated. Overall, this wood preserver is a fantastic choice for safeguarding your timber without the typical overpowering smell.Recently, I treated my garden fence with the Sika Sikagard Wood Preserver, and I must say it impressed me. This fast-drying solution was a breeze to apply and offered excellent protection, even in damp conditions. Notably, it was low on odour, making it pleasant to use. Moving indoors, our wood varnish products enhance the natural qualities of wood flooring, kitchen counters and furniture while protecting against scratches and heat damage. Solvent-based wood preservers such as Barrettine Premier and Ronseal Total tend to absorb more deeply into wood, and decorators say they have longer-lasting effects. However they’re more smelly than water-based stuff, and tend to be less safe for the environment. That said, the most eco-friendly preserver in our line-up, Osmo Wood Protector, is solvent-based but uses safe organic ingredients, which makes it perfect for kitchen worktops.

Wood is an attractive and sturdy material for a variety of applications – yet it can be all too easily susceptible to damage and decay. Our online range of quality wood protection and care products can help you keep it at its best for years to come. SIKAGARD WOOD PRESERVER is a low solvent, low odour solution based on Micro-fine active technology. The fungicides and algaecides present in these formulations are finely dispersed so that wood penetration and hence effectiveness is much greater than standard wood preservation products. In addition the use of ultra light fast pigments on the coloured variants give an even fade resistant finish which will last for years. SIKAGARD® WOOD PRESERVER is fast drying and non flammable; and application to wet timbers is possible without loss of performance. It is specifically designed to deeply penetrate all wood and joinery to give long lasting protection from damage caused by wet rot, dry rot, decay and fungi. Sikagard Universal 5 Star Wood Treatment Wood preserver is basically an undercoat. You brush or spray it onto raw, freshly sawn or sanded wood surfaces to stabilise the wood’s moisture content and protect it from rot and decay. The clear, colourless preserver allowed the natural beauty of the wood to shine through. It was also ideal for preparing the surface before painting, staining or varnishing, giving me the confidence that my wooden furniture would stay well-protected for years to come. With these critical factors in mind, I carefully analysed and tested several wood preservers available in the UK to help you find the one that offers excellent protection, durability and value for money, ensuring your wooden surfaces remain beautiful, functional and safe to use. Top 10 Best Wood Preservers ProductIn addition to extending the lifespan of wooden materials, opting for treated wood is also more environmentally friendly – compared to the environmental cost of steel and plastic, the cost of treated wood is significantly lower, as the material’s service life is extended with treatment. An alternative to using a wood preserver would be to use a wood sealer or a wood stain. While a preserver is designed to prevent rot and decay, a sealer or stain can also help to protect against water damage, UV rays, and other environmental factors. A sealer will create a protective barrier on the surface of the wood, while a stain will penetrate the wood fibres and provide both colour and protection. However, it’s important to note that neither of these options will offer the same level of protection against rot and decay as a dedicated wood preserver. Preservation Properties To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options. Broadly speaking, wood preservation can be defined as all the measures taken to ensure the longevity of wood. However, when we talk about wood preservative products, these are chemical preservatives and processes (also known as timber treatments, pressure treatments or lumber treatments) which aim to increase the durability of wood, wooden structures or engineered wood, by extending the life of outdoor wood products up to 10 times the life of untreated lumber, while also protecting the material from timber’s three main enemies – fungi, termites and wood-boring insects.
