SiOO:X Wood Protection on Alaskan Yellow Cedar reSAWN TIMBER co. for exterior cladding features a water-based and environmentally friendly finish, with a unique, patented formula based on silicon-potassium designed to accelerate the natural weathering process.
Weathered wood is an aesthetic that is increasingly sought after but the challenge is, how to achieve it without taking the risk of uneven weathering on different aspects of the building, or in protected areas, such as overhanging eaves. SiOO:X provides a solution by mirroring the natural aging process and accelerating the creation of the silver-grey appearance and giving long life protection in a completely environmentally friendly way. SiOO:X penetrates the wood and gives a light surface that is pleasant to touch. Apart from the surface being beautiful, it also is a barrier to algae, mould and rot from gaining a hold in the wood. The surface is very easy to wipe down making maintenance simpler. The SiOO:X treatment reinforces and strengthens the wood surface.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE CLADDING TO BECOME SILVER-GRAY?
The treated wood is initially yellowish brown and a bit mottled. The curing and bleaching process starts on contact with water, and after 6–12 months your panel will begin to have a lovely, even silver-gray color. The process then continues for up to 3 years.
