Product Information

Full details

The Everbuild Wood Preserver (Clear, 25L) is designed for homeowners and professionals seeking robust protection against rot, decay, and fungal growth in both interior and exterior timber. Its key benefit is the advanced micro-fine active technology, ensuring deep penetration for long-lasting defense. A minor caveat is that for exterior use, the product requires overpainting after 48 hours to ensure water repellency. This fast-drying, low-odour, and non-flammable water-based treatment effectively shields various wood types, leaving a natural finish indoors or a base for further treatments outdoors.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this wood preserver suitable for treated timber?

This product is designed for untreated timber. If timber has already been treated with another product, compatibility should be tested in an inconspicuous area first, or the old treatment removed.

How many coats of Everbuild Wood Preserver should I apply?

Generally, one generous coat is sufficient due to the micro-fine technology ensuring deep penetration. However, for rough sawn timber or increased protection, a second coat can be applied after the first has dried.

Can I use this product on decking?

Yes, it can be used on decking, but for exterior applications like decking, it must be overpainted or varnished after the recommended 48-hour drying time to provide the necessary water repellency and UV protection.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage is approximately 15-20 square meters per litre, depending on the absorbency and type of the timber surface.

Does this product stop existing rot?

Everbuild Wood Preserver is primarily a preventative treatment against rot, decay, and fungi. It is not designed to cure existing rot. Severely rotted timber should be replaced.

How long does the protection last?

The long-lasting protection provided by the fungicidal and algaecidal properties is designed to endure for many years, especially when the exterior timber is subsequently protected by a suitable topcoat.

Can I use this in areas where food is prepared?

While low-odour and safe to use, it's best to avoid using it in direct contact with food preparation surfaces. Ensure good ventilation during and after application.

Troubleshooting

Product appears milky in the can and during application.

This is normal for the clear variant. The product is milky when wet but dries to a clear, protective finish.

Wood still shows signs of decay after treatment.

Ensure the product was applied correctly and thoroughly, covering all surfaces. For severe existing rot, the timber may need to be replaced. This product is primarily a preventative treatment.

Paint or varnish is not adhering well after application.

Allow the wood preserver to dry for the full 48 hours (or longer in humid conditions) before applying any topcoats. Ensure the surface is free from dust.

Application is difficult or uneven.

Ensure the timber surface is not overly porous or rough without prior preparation. Stir the product thoroughly before and during use. Use appropriate application tools like a brush or roller for even coverage.
