SiOO:X, a groundbreaking technology that is transforming how we manage the natural weathering of timber. As a leader in timber products and treatments, Davidson Timber is proud to offer SiOO: X as part of our commitment to providing sustainable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing wood solutions.

What is SiOO:X ?

SiOO:X is an advanced wood protection system originating from Sweden, designed to enhance the durability and longevity of timber while maintaining its natural beauty. The technology mimics the natural aging process of wood, providing a consistent and attractive silver-grey finish that develops over time. This innovative treatment consists of two main components:

1. SiOO:X Wood Protector: A liquid silicon-based treatment that penetrates deep into the wood fibers, providing long-lasting protection against moisture, mold, and decay.
2. SiOO:X Surface Protector: A second application that forms a tough, water-repellent surface, enhancing the wood’s resistance to weathering and UV damage.

How Does SiOO:X Work?

SiOO:X works by utilizing the natural mineral silicon, which reacts with the wood fibers to form a strong, flexible, and protective barrier. This reaction is a two-step process:

1. Penetration Phase: The Wood Protector penetrates deeply into the wood, where it reacts with the cellulose fibers to form a solid, mineral layer. This layer strengthens the wood from within, providing robust protection against rot, insects, and moisture.
2. Surface Protection Phase: The Surface Protector is then applied, creating a hydrophobic (water-repellent) layer on the wood’s surface. This layer not only shields the wood from direct water contact but also allows it to breathe, preventing moisture buildup and related issues such as warping and cracking.

Benefits of SiOO:X

The SiOO:X system offers a multitude of benefits that make it an exceptional choice for both residential and commercial timber applications:

• Long-Lasting Protection: SiOO treated wood can last up to 15 years or more without the need for frequent reapplication, significantly reducing maintenance costs and efforts.
• Enhanced Durability: The silicon-based treatment provides superior resistance to biological threats like mold, mildew, and insects, as well as physical wear and tear.
• Natural Aesthetics: Over time, SiOO treated wood develops a beautiful, even silver-grey patina that enhances the wood’s natural grain and texture, blending seamlessly with various architectural styles and environments.
• Sustainability: SiOO is environmentally friendly, utilizing natural minerals and water-based solutions that are safe for both the applicators and the surrounding ecosystem.
• UV Protection: The treatment protects wood from the harmful effects of UV radiation, preventing discoloration and degradation.

Applications of SiOO:X

SiOO:X is versatile and can be used on a wide range of timber products and applications, including:

• Cladding and Facades: Ideal for exterior walls, providing a uniform and weather-resistant finish.
• Decking: Offers excellent protection against foot traffic, weather, and moisture, ensuring a long-lasting, attractive surface.
• Fencing: Enhances the durability and appearance of timber fences, reducing maintenance requirements.
• Outdoor Furniture: Ensures outdoor wooden furniture remains beautiful and functional for years to come.
