SiOO:X Wood Protector (Part 1)

SiOO:X is a patented Silicon technology, which is applied in two parts – SiOO:X Part 1: Wood Protector & SiOO:X Part 2: Surface Protector. In addition to the protective benefits of the treatment, SiOO:X develops a beautiful silver grey colour as it cures, similar to the natural weathered look, over a period of several months. 

Please note: Two coats of Part 1 and one coat of Part 2 of the SiOO:X treatment MUST be applied as per the application instructions.

SiOO:X is suitable for many common species including Larch, Cedar, various hardwoods, and certain modified woods eg thermally modified pine.  Please contact our sales team for further information on species suitability.

For use in external above ground conditions; timber cladding or decking should be selected for its natural durability with minimum durability Class 3 (according to BSEN 503-2). SiOO:X is not recommended for application on windows / doors.

How a façade weathers is dependent on the location, design and the species of timber used. Facades which have not weathered evenly may be deemed unsightly due to inconsistent colouration. A common example of this is when boards protected by the building’s eaves maintain their natural colour whilst more exposed areas of the building weather down to a grey colour. SiOO:X is a solution to this problem. In the months following application all boards will turn the same tone regardless of their colour and exposure to the elements prior to application, resulting in a desirable, uniform silver grey appearance.
