We are often asked why we have 3 products for treating wood. Are all 3 necessary and if so, how should they be used together? Can I skip Wood Boost?

WoodFresh brings up old grey wood just like new |
The answer is that each has an important but different role to fulfill to give wood the very best possible protection. Being water, rather than solvent or petroleum based, they are all easy to use and better for the environment.
Wood Fresh is an essential first step for restoring the natural colour and texture of grey or faded/weather-bleached surfaces - without the usual rubbing down with glasspaper or sandpaper. It is a highly effective, labour-saving cleaner and refresher for all kinds of timber. It is particularly recommended for use on laminated wooden surfaces where abrasive treatment might remove or significantly damage the top layer. Blue and black fungus, bacteria and weathered and loose wood/cellulose fibres are effectively removed without effort. Amazingly, without any sandpapering or grinding, wood regains its original colour and structure.

Wood Boost repels water |
Wood Boost is the next step. Yes, you could miss it out but by using it you will protect the wood surfaces against the adverse effects of the weather, reducing bleaching and greying and extending the life of the wood by up to 4 times longer than if left untreated. The reason is that unlike a paint or varnish, Wood Boost penetrates deep within the wood, strengthening the structure and preventing the ingress of moisture, actually eliminating signs of "wear and tear". It can also be mixed with wood dyes to achieve the desired finished colour.

ProDeck completes the protection process |
The finishing touch is Wood Prodeck which protects woods - especially hardwoods - against water saturation, swelling and rotting. Its breathing and practically invisible coating allows water and oils to simply "pearl-off" taking dust and dirt away. Dirt and stains simply cannot penetrate the wood and therefore there is no marking or flecking. Even in extreme cases of exposure to rain or condensation, the wood absorbs absolutely no moisture - it just remains on the surface where it can be easily wiped off or just allowed to evaporate. This means that drying time is drastically reduced and with no moisture in the pores of the wood, damage from frost prevented. The product is ideal for all types of wood including untreated, absorbent and even pressure- impregnated structural timber. It is able to be used both for indoor and outdoor purposes.
