SPAN FLOORS, a leading brand of wooden flooring and wooden facades in India, introduces a state of the art, Patented Wood Protection coating by Sioo Wood protection AB, Sweden for their discerning clientele in India. Wood, when used in exterior applications such as decking, cladding, pergolas or fencing, requires frequent maintenance to keep it looking good. Additionally, constant exposure to moisture can lead to rot and fungal decay. For this reason, even though home owners and architects love natural wood, they tend to shy away from using it and look for alternates. Sioo:x Wood Protection is a 100% natural coating that is done on wood to protect it from elements (sun, rain etc) and give it a beautiful weathered finish that lasts very long thus solving the frequent maintenance problem. With this launch, the Indian buyers or consumers can now experience long term durability and a very low maintenance cycle of wood when used in fully exposed applications. The patented formula is in both, the base wood protection coating and the supplementary surface protection coating that penetrates, combines with the wood and produces a very modern and contemporary natural silver-grey shade that architects and designers love. The Sioo:x Wood Production is available in 6 nuances from Light to Dark GreySioo:x Wood Protection by SPAN FLOORS forms a natural protective barrier against harsh climatic conditions which not only helps in extending the wood’s lifetime but also gives a beautiful silver-grey surface. The silicon shield provides effective multi-protection against the forces of nature, regardless of climate. Sioo:x works with the wood to protect against
Sunshine and UV rays, Rain, frost and snow, Rot, Algae and mould Termites other unwanted insects.
*Sioo:x – See “Tests and evidence” to get complete information about different wood types and treatments.
Sioo:x Wood Protection by SPAN FLOORS is based on an entirely new concept compared to other wood preservatives. These are based on silicon that penetrates into the wood to become a physical repellent. Fungi and other organisms are then prevented from getting to any depth. Potassium is also used to supplement the silicon to improve penetration into the wood, as compared to sodium, which is used in many other marketed products.
Mr. Satinder Chawla, Managing Director, SPAN FLOORS adds, “All wood for outdoor use, be it cladding, decking, garden furniture, pergola or fencing must be treated to withstand weather and wind. Most often this is done using oil, paint or film forming finishes which can be time consuming and expensive due to increased maintenance frequency or effort. Sioo:x Wood Protection is a much better solution to this problem. With Sioo:x protective wood treatment on your deck or facade, you get a water-repellent and vapor-permeable wood surface that slowly turns to a beautiful silver-grey, lasts long and is soft and pleasant in terms of look and feel.”
