Cutek Green Wood Preservative before and after

Woods such as cedar and some hardwood species are naturally durable and are therefore commonly used for wood exposed outdoors, such as weathered siding, shakes and shingles, decks, furniture, and fences. Durability is imparted by natural chemicals, which are contained in extractives in the heartwood of these species. Heartwood is the center part of the wood; the outer part is sapwood

Since only the heartwood contains extractives, wood that contains a high proportion of sapwood does not have the natural durability of wood that contains a high proportion of heartwood.

Wood is the material of choice for many structures. As with any building material, how wood is used depends on its properties, such as strength and stiffness, as well as its finishing characteristics and maintenance requirements. Problems such as poor finish performance, mildew, checking and splitting, and wood decay can be controlled with proper care and maintenance. Such problems can be avoided or attenuated through knowledge about the factors that affect wood, particularly wood exposed outdoors. If wood structures are given proper care initially and are maintained periodically, they can be functional and structurally sound, as well as aesthetically pleasing, for decades.

Properly seasoned wood that stays dry is not subject to decay, premature failure of paints and finishes, and problems associated with weathering, such as excessive splitting and checking, raised grain, extractive bleed, and discoloration. This is why you should be considering Cutek Green for application to any outdoor wood projects, either on new projects or restoring weathered wood projects.

Otter Creek is the Canadian distributor for Cutek Green and we would be glad to discuss your specific wood project and how Cutek Creek can be of help in keeping your wood preserved and structurally sound for years to come by calling 1-800-981-3590 and you can purchase this product online at www.myocstore.com

The 2010 Canadian Home Improvement Show is the industry trade event where retailers in the Ontario home improvement sector come to place orders with national suppliers and source new products. In a move to better reflect its attendees and exhibitors, the Show recently changed its name from the LBMAO Winter Buying Show to the Canadian Home Improvement Show. Building on their success as a true buying show, the LBMAO will continue to host the event.

Now based in Toronto, the Show is central to industry delegates in the province. Connecting Ontario retailers with suppliers from all across Canada, the Show encompasses more than just building materials. Following a concerted expansion over the past several years, the Show has grown to include all of the home improvement sectors such as building materials, hardlines, lawn and garden, paint and décor, and power tools.

Mag Ruffman made a surprise appearance at the show much to the delight of many of the exhibitors and show personal. Ms. Rufffman toured the exhibitor booths with LBMAO President David Campbell and shook  hands and provided photo opportunities. At the end of the tour Ruffman commented on how she was impressed to see how many new and creative building material products were being displayed and she hinted at the fact that there might be a possibility of her personal involvement with the show in 2011.

Ms. Ruffman is well know across Canada for her insight and knowledge on the DIY home improvement front and particularly when it comes to helping provide women of all ages and backgrounds with useful products, tools and the personal how-to.  If you would like more information on Mag Ruffman please visit www.toolgirl.com
