FAQs

How long does the waterproofing last?

The water repellency effect can last up to 10 years on wood surfaces, depending on environmental exposure and maintenance.

Can I paint or varnish over the waterproofing solution?

The solution leaves a matt finish. It is generally not recommended to paint or varnish over it, as it may affect adhesion. It is best used as a final protective treatment.

What is the best way to prepare the wood surface?

The surface must be dry, clean, and free from grease, dirt, and loose material. Pressure washing is recommended for removing mould and dirt, followed by thorough rinsing and complete drying.

How many coats should I apply?

A single coat provides water repellency. For enhanced protection and durability, a second coat is recommended, applied 3-4 hours after the first.

Will this change the color of my wood?

No, the solution provides an invisible water-repellent finish and leaves a tough and durable matt finish that does not affect the appearance of the wood surface.

Is this product suitable for all wood types?

Yes, it is suitable for use on all types of wood surfaces, including fences, sheds, decking, and garden furniture.

Can I apply this in cold weather?

It is best to apply the solution in moderate temperatures. Avoid application in very cold or damp conditions as it can affect drying times and product performance.

Troubleshooting

Wood still absorbs water after application

Ensure the surface was completely dry and clean before application. Multiple coats may be necessary for heavily porous wood. Reapply if the protective layer has degraded over time.

Uneven finish or streaking

Ensure the product was applied evenly. Wipe away excess product before it dries. Check for blockages in spray applicators or consistent roller/brush strokes.

Product not drying properly

Ensure application occurred in suitable temperature and humidity conditions. Avoid applying in very cold or damp weather. Allow more time for drying if conditions are not ideal.

Mould or mildew returns quickly

Ensure all existing mould was completely removed during preparation. While the product resists growth, persistent environmental factors can still encourage it. Thorough cleaning and reapplication can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Key:

Before application, ensure the wood surface is dry, clean, and free from grease, dirt, and any loose or flaking material.

  1. Clean Thoroughly: Use a pressure washer or a suitable cleaning agent to remove mould, dirt, and grime.
  2. Rinse and Dry: If using chemical cleaners, rinse the surface thoroughly. Allow the wood to fully dry before proceeding. This may take 24-48 hours depending on conditions.

Application:

  • Apply the Siramico Coatings Wood Waterproofing Solution using a brush, roller, or spray. Ensure even coverage.
  • Allow 1-2 hours for the first coat to dry.
  • Apply a second coat 3-4 hours after the first for enhanced water repellency.

Compatibility:

Suitable for all types of wood surfaces, including fences, sheds, decking, and garden furniture. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Care:

For ongoing care, periodically inspect treated surfaces. Cleaning can usually be done with a damp cloth or mild soap and water. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the protective layer.
