Barrettine Protective Treatment - Black

No, this product is not ideal for decking or garden furniture due to its limited rub resistance. It is designed for less high-traffic timber structures.

Typically, one to two coats are recommended. For rough or sawn timber, you may need a more liberal application or an additional coat for adequate protection.

The longevity of the protection depends on environmental exposure. Reapplication is usually needed every 1-3 years to maintain optimal performance.

It is best applied to bare wood for optimal penetration and adhesion. If applying over an existing finish, ensure it is sound, well-adhered, and clean. Test in a small area first.

The treatment provides a transparent or translucent finish, allowing the natural grain and texture of the wood to remain visible.

Clean your brushes, rollers, or sprayers with water immediately after you have finished applying the treatment.

The primary function of this treatment is water repellency and UV protection to prevent decay, swelling, and twisting. While a well-protected wood is less susceptible, specific insect or mold repellency is not its main feature.

Ensure the timber surface is clean and dry. Lightly sanding very smooth surfaces may improve adhesion and penetration. Apply a second coat if necessary.

Ensure the product was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply coats evenly and avoid over-application in some areas. Work in consistent strokes.

Check if adequate coats were applied and if the product has fully cured. For severe issues, ensure the timber itself is not fundamentally compromised. Reapply the treatment.

Test the treatment on an inconspicuous area first to gauge the final color. The final appearance can vary based on the type and condition of the wood. Consider a different color variant if the current one is not suitable.
