Product Description

Owatrol Seasonite protects new wood in its vulnerable first year, from the damaging effects of sun and moisture. An immediate application of Owatrol Seasonite seals out excess moisture and protects against sun damage, so keeping new wood looking new longer.

Owatrol Seasonite is for preventing warping and cracking that causes unsightly and damaging results, treating the wood with Owatrol Seasonite will keep the wood looking new for longer. Using Owatrol Seasonite to treat new timber, allows the new wood to weather naturally in its first year without damage. After 6 to 12 months of weathering, Owatrol Seasonite provides a sound surface for oils, paint and stains. After this period of weathering the wood can then easily maintained and protected by using a penetrating oil finish such as Owatrol Textrol or for a coloured finish we would recommend using Owatrol Solid Color Stain.
