CUTEK Extreme® – for Professional Wood and Timber Protection.

Cutek Extreme Wood Preservative

 

Whatever your wood application or project– decking, siding, railings, doors, windows. Specifiers. Architects, Builders and manufacturers have been using Cutek Extreme when specifying preservation in some of the world’s harshest climates for nearly three decades.

 

 

CUTEK® products are proven for wood coatings for both  interior & exterior use. They are designed to penetrate deeply into any species of wood, including hardwoods and bamboo, where they work from the inside out to control liquid and gas phase moisture. This unique characteristic assists with long term dimensional stability and resistance to surface mildew, mould and fungus wood. Recoat preparation consists of a simple wash-down of the wood with Cutek Pro Clean, rather than conventional sanding or stripping, resulting in significant savings in on-going maintenance costs and time. Further, the unique penetration technology helps to control warping, cupping, and splitting; greatly enhancing the service life of your wood.

Cutek products can be purchased online at www.myocstore.com or by calling Otter Creek at 1-800-981-3590

Cutek Green and exposted wood products outdoor.

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

Cutek Green Wood Preservative and Stabilizer.

May 16th, 2011

Cutek Green Wood Restoration

I have come across many stains and sealers in my time as a distributor of these particular products but I have not seen anything like Cutek Green that can take a new or weathered wood surface on any exterior or interior wood product and not only make the wood look great but also preserve and stabilize to the capability this product does.

I believe the unique properties of Cutek will see it replace most other woodpreservative and coating products. “This all-in-one wood preservative and coating oil is unique because it deeply penetrates the wood substrate, providing superior water repellence and assisting with long-term dimensional stability.

Cutek has a unique carrier component that seeks out and displaces any moisture within the woods’ cell structure, which maintains long-term dimensional stability like no other product. This carrier remains mobile within the wood, giving the wood a ‘self-healing’ effect where the product migrates to any freshly cut or exposed surface of the wood, ensuring the constant integrity of the protective envelope.
If you would like further information about this product or to purchase it please call Robert Abbott from Otter Creek at 1-800-981-3590 or you can visit our online store at www.myocstore.com

How to clean and brighten your weathered deck surface.

May 5th, 2011

Woodrich Wood Decking Stripper

I have a pressure treated deck that was several years old and it was starting to look drab due to the years of weathering it had. I did not want to replace the deck but thought I would like to attempt to strip it and re coat it to help make it look as new as possible. I was searching around the Internet and came across a product from Woodrich called EFC-38 which apparently works on all types of wood species such as pressure treated, cedar and even exotic hardwoods like Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood. This product is granular and you mix it in a 5 gallon pale of water and then you can apply with a power washer on low pressure and then spray it on and leave it for a few minutes and then spray it off. I was unsure how this product would work for my weathered deck that had never been cleaned so I also purchased the HD-80 which is a heavy duty stripper. I was advised to purchase along with this product the brightener which is to be applied after your stripper is used. This product is called Citralic ,Citralic is pH balanced to make the ideal neutralizer for HD-80 and other caustic strippers. I was very happy with the results I achieved with these products and would suggest you visit www.myocstore.com for further information.
