Architects are increasingly opting for wooden facia's instead of render because it is cheaper.
Wood turns silver / grey after one year exposed to Ultra violet light. This is due to oxidation, of the wood surface which makes it porous and allows water penetration. This combination of rainwater and temperature are the ideal conditions to grow spirillum black mould.
The wood then turns black and become unsightly... Just look in any shopping centre and you will see how ugly it becomes.
WWG contains a micro technology formula which binds the surface of the wood providing a hard wearing, invisible protective seal against water penetration.
The black mould in wood is caused by spirillum mould which is naturally found in rainwater hence the grey / blackening.
By preventing rain water penetration we remove this eventuality.
Here we can see a second coat of WWG being applied to the right side of a wood sample.
When this is dry it becomes a water repellent which prevents the water from coming into direct contact with the wood surface. An example of water repellence in the image below
Below you will be able to view videos and photographs about our
Wood Waterproofing and Protection coat.
This image shows the difference in water penetration to the treated and untreated
surfaces.
