Will Cutek Extreme Wood Preservative silver over time?

December 18th, 2011

 

Cutek Extreme Wood Preservative

 

 

CUTEKExtreme® is suitable for use as a clear, water repellent preservative coating on exterior wood and timber surfaces, however clear coated surfaces will quickly silver off on exposure to sunlight to produce a natural weathered appearance. Wood or timber that is coated with clear CUTEKExtreme® will still retain its dimensional stability and bio-toxicity characteristics. If this natural silvering of the wood surface is undesirable, then colortoned CUTEKExtreme® must be used to delay the silvering process in addition to maintaining and enhancing the natural character and color of freshly oiled timber. Colortoned CUTEKExtreme® can still look like a clear finish, depending on the colortone selected.

Cutek Extreme is distributed throughout Canada by Otter Creek and can be purchased by calling 1-800-981-3590 or visiting the companies online store at www.myocstore.com

Will the Ipe decking tiles grow mold or mildew?

August 9th, 2011

Woodrich Wood Decking Stripper

In normal conditions, the gaps between the wood slats and the special mesh carriage ensure good airflow and quick drying which inhibits mold and mildew growth on the wood. If installed in exterior areas, which remain, damp and out of direct sunlight, then some growth of mold or mildew may occur as with any conventional exterior wood surface. Otter Creek offers a mild stripper called EFC-38 which can be applied to the wood to clean the surface of the mold and mildew if it becomes a problem. The Diamond Essence Ipe decking tile can be purchased at Canadian Retail Stores or online at www.myocstore.com
