Wood preservatives are materials used to slow the deterioration of wood from environmental exposure, fungi growth or insect attack. They dry faster than most solvent-based preservers, and are much lower in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), the substances mainly responsible for petrol-type smells.

The heavy-duty, solvent-based preservative protects new wood and highlights the weathering process and prevents future damage for old wood. One of our top wood preservers, Sikagard Wood Preserver, can be applied on damp or rotten wood and will get to work immediately. Additionally, whilst Barrettine Wood Preserver and Universal Preserver are protective against wood-boring insects, they will not kill existing infestations. As you know, wood is highly prone to damage by insects and moisture, and hence a preservative becomes a necessity in protecting the wood from deterioration.
