What are timber plus water repellents?

timber plus formulated water repellents and preservatives are deeply penetrating materials designed to inhibit the entry of moisture into the wood cell, thereby minimizing the swelling and shrinking.

What types of damage do they protect against?

timber plus formulated water repellents and preservatives protect timber and plywood from the varying affects caused by weathering and natural deterioration such as warping, checking, grain raising, cupping, cracking and swelling, particularly for softwood and plywood, without changing the natural appearance of your timber.

What surfaces can they be applied on?

Because timber plus treatment products (except timber plus Interior and Exterior Stains & Waxes) do not form a surface coating, and are compatible with most paint systems and all oil-based stains, they are the ideal treatment for all timber or timber products subject to exposure to moisture hazards.

Do they leave a surface coating?

timber plus water repellents do not leave a surface coating, so there is no film that can crack, flake or peel with aging. When your timber is ready for another treatment there is no messy preparation required like striping or sanding, simply reapply.

Do I need to reapply Timber Plus if a coating is broken by nailing or screwing?

Yes, Timber Plus products need to be reapplied when a surface coating is broken by either nailing or screwing, and where penetration has occured.

When should they be applied?

timber plus products are best applied after all cutting, drilling and gluing has been completed.

What preparation do I need to consider before applying?

For best results, it is important to apply timber plus products to dry timber, free from excessive dirt, grease, paint or any coatings that may inhibit absorbtion of the formulated repellents, resins and waxes from penetrating into the wood cell.

Do I need to sand back the surface before applying?

Unlike other finishing products suchs as paints, minimal (if any) sanding or stripping is required, making timber plus water repellents a very cost effective solution.
