What is Wood Preserver?

A wood preserver is a type of chemical treatment designed to protect wooden surfaces from decay, rot, insect infestation, and other forms of damage caused by exposure to moisture, sunlight, and environmental elements. Typically available in liquid form, wood preservatives are applied to the surface of the wood to penetrate its fibres and create a protective barrier. They may contain biocides, fungicides, and other additives that inhibit the growth of mould, mildew, and wood-destroying organisms. Wood preservers come in various formulations, including clear treatments and coloured stains, and can be oil-based or water-based depending on the specific requirements of the project.

How to Use Wood Preserver

To effectively use Cuprinol Wood Preserver, ensure the surface is clean and free from any previous finishes. Then, apply it evenly using a brush, roller, or sprayer, covering all areas thoroughly. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying additional coats as needed. Pay special attention to vulnerable areas such as end grain and joints. Once applied, allow the preservative to dry fully before subjecting the wood to moisture or wear. Regular maintenance and inspection are key to ensuring long-term protection, and always follow safety precautions outlined by the manufacturer throughout the process.

Where to Use Wood Preserver

Wood preservers are typically used on outdoor wooden structures and surfaces exposed to weathering and moisture, such as decking, sheds, fencing, pergolas, garden furniture, and exterior siding.
