The
integrity of the environment should be the most important
consideration in choosing a wood protection product. The majority of
products on the market contain biocides which are known to leach out
over time. A completely different solution is needed which can be
specified with confidence with no hazards to people, animals or the
environment.
Architects
in the landscape and built environments are also increasingly looking
for solutions for protecting wood which compliment the very
qualities of the timber they are utilising in their designs. There
is a wish to sustain the natural appearance of the wood used in their
work and to protect it over a long life span. There is a need to
create a dimensionally stable, insect and decay proof condition.
A
new technology in wood protection provides solutions which architects
and end users have long been seeking. The technology is based on the
mineral silicon. It has been developed and patented by Sioo Wood
Protection AB based in Gothenburg, Sweden. The Sioo products are in
use across Scandinavia for all types of timber, both new and old,
ranging from soft woods to hardwoods and to thermowoods. Larch, oak
and cedar are beautiful timbers which are sustained and protected
sympathetically, fully retaining their natural appearance.
The
Sioo Wood protection process provides a unique combination of
benefits for the care of timber. The Sioo treatment is totally
environmentally friendly and results in a beautiful smooth natural
finish, strengthens the surface fibres, eliminates warping, splitting
and cupping, kills and prevents algae formation and insect attack,
retards water and provides long life. It does all of this in a way
which makes life safer for people and the environment.
