| Everwood
is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-flammable, penetrating alkali
activated silica aero gel that seals, hardens, and preserves most wood products.
Evercrete Everwood has the ability to extend the lifetime of most wooden
structures and elements through hardening, preserving, sealing and waterproofing.
Evercrete Everwood will improve the durability of timber against fungus,
mold and insect damage. It hardens the surface, increasing both strength
and abrasion resistance. Evercrete Everwood will not alter the texture
or other physical characteristics of the wooden surface to which it is
applied. It also provides a prepared surface for better bonding of varnish,
stains, paint and mastics. Evercrete Everwood is highly effective and
versatile in a wide range of commercial, industrial and residential applications.
Evercrete Everwood helps wood retain its natural color much longer.
How does Everwood work?
Upon penetration the catalyst in Evercrete Everwood reacts with the alkali
and acids present in most wood cells, forming an aero silica gel membrane
on the surfaces of the cell walls. This membrane forms an internal seal
and barrier against water and other causes of deterioration. Over a period
of time the silica gel membrane hydrates and hardens into a crystalline
structure within the wood leaving a clear natural finish and no film or
membrane on the wood surface. Evercrete Everwood needs only be applied
once for a lifetime of protection.
Where can it be used?
Evercrete Everwood has hundreds of possible applications both commercially
and domestically. Virtually any wooden structure from a building frame
to patio furniture will benefit from Evercrete Everwood. Other applications
include log homes, decks, basements, window boxes, window and door frames,
cedar siding, cedar shakes, cedar shingles, fences, kitchen countertops,
cutting boards, planting tubs and storage sheds to name but a few. If
it's made of wood, chances are it would benefit from Evercrete Everwood.
