Timber is a hydroscopic material, which simply means that it readily absorbs moisture. When this happens, the dimensions of the timber increase which, in construction applications, can cause bowing, sagging and twisting that negatively affects structural integrity. In addition, damp timber provides a perfect environment for the growth of mould, algae and fungi, all of which cause the material to rot.

In this section of our website, you will find several water repellent products for use on masonry and timber, all of which imbue the substrate with the necessary protection to prevent these issues. Prevention is better than cure!
