Owatrol Seasonite - New Wood Protection

Seasonite New Wood Protection is designed to protect all new exterior wood, especially decking against the damaging effects of sun and moisture in the first 6-12 months when it is at it's most vulnerable.

The effects of sun and moisture on new wood can create splitting, swelling, cupping and warping. An immediate application of Seasonite will protect the wood against fading and control the movement of any moisture in and out of the timber; thus minimising the potential for the wood to split, warp, cup and crack - keeping new wood looking new longer.

Unlike some new wood treatments that just sit on the surface and are easily scuffed off, Seasonite penetrates into the wood, bonding with the wood fibres to regulate the movement of moisture.

Seasonite protects pressure-treated wood, cedar, redwood and other exterior timbers including hardwoods

Ready to use Seasonite offers a convenient one-coat application and easy clean up with soap and water.

Where to use Seasonite:

• To stabilise new exterior wood, including soft or hardwoods; pressure trteated wood; kiln-dried timbers such as Cedar and redwood during the first year of weathering.
• Ideal for new garden decks, cladding, fences, shingles, shakes and unfinished outdoor furniture.
