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.
