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. What are Sika’s Sikagard wood preservatives? Varnish, by contrast, is a topcoat. It won’t protect the wood on its own. Same goes for paint, wax and wood oil.

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. 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
