Roxil Wood Protection Cream
Roxil Wood Protection Cream is a silicone cream emulsion used to protect timber [1] for 10+ years [2] with only a single coat application. It protects wood from the undesirable effects of moisture, which can result in a degraded appearance, warping and moss / algae growth.
Once applied by brush or roller, the colourless cream formula will absorb into the wood and create a waterproof barrier. It will protect fences, decking, sheds, furniture and more from the elements without changing their appearance.
Mould and Algae Growth
Exposure to adverse weather conditions can make the appearance of wood degrade and become dirty in a short space of time due to the effects of moisture. This effect is accelerated in areas subject to significant shade or a large amount of rain.
Mould and algae growth mainly occurs because the surface of the wood is damp. Repeated instances of mould & algae can permanently discolour wood.
Roxil Wood Protection Cream penetrates into the surface of timber [1] and creates a waterproof barrier. This water repellent surface stops moisture ingress and significantly reduces mould and algae growth, keeping wood cleaner for longer.
Retain Natural Appearance
Many available wood treatments dramatically alter the appearance of the surface that they are treating. They introduce a colour stain or create an unnatural texture.
Roxil Wood Protection Cream’s unique formula creates an invisible waterproof barrier. There is no change to the texture or appearance of the treated wood, ensuring that the natural beauty of the material is retained.
Warping and Structural Instability
When wood takes on moisture, it expands. Structures that are constructed using wood can be vulnerable to the forces created by this expansion, leading them to become warped or broken.
Roxil Wood Protection Cream’s powerful formula greatly reduces moisture ingress, minimising the expansion that causes wood to warp. This increased structural stability can extend the life of timber [1].
Protecting Garden Furniture with Roxil
Wooden garden furniture, like benches, tables or awnings, can be especially susceptible to the effects of moisture. They are quite often required to bear weight and so maintaining their structural integrity is important.
Significant moisture ingress can lead to warping, cracking and even rot. Applying a coat of Roxil Wood Protection Cream to any garden furniture can significantly reduce moisture ingress and weatherproof it for 10+ years [2], extending its working life.
Soft Washing for Longer Life
Ingrained dirt due to moisture ingress can make timber difficult to clean. Acidic cleaners are commonly used to clean dirty or moss / algae stained wood. They work by stripping the top layer of wood. The initial results of these cleaners can be satisfactory but they cause damage in the long term.
Roxil-treated timber [1] resists ingrained dirt and biological growth making acidic cleaners unnecessary. If cleaning is required, Roxil Wood & Patio Cleaner is an effective and non-destructive way to return wood to its natural beauty.
Roxil Wood Protection Cream Application
These instructions are an overview of the application process. Always read the technical datasheet for all products before application. The technical datasheet can be found in the downloads tab.
-
Ensure that the surface to be treated is dry and clear of debris. If it is affected by biological growth it is recommended clean the surface using Roxil Wood & Patio Cleaner and then to consider an application of Roxil Wood Preserver.
-
Apply Roxil Wood Protection Cream directly to the treatment area with a brush or roller, making sure to distribute it in an even and thin coat.
-
Leave the cream to absorb into the wood for at least 24 hours, until it appears dry. This may take longer on cold winter days. See the technical datasheet for more information.
