Editors Choice LY N SiOO:X Wood Protection System Parker & Son The SiOO:X Wood Protection System is different; it is not a coating, but an envelope that penetrates the wood surface. The protection system has two components; the first penetrates the wood where it reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide to gradually form an inert glassy polymer. The second component acts to seal and protect the first application until it is fully cured, but it also forms an inert water resistant envelope which creates a grey surface appearance. The silicon-oxygen chemical bonds (the same as in glass) in the cured polymer are stable to ultraviolet light. Just as important, the wood now has an even weathered appearance once the protection system cures. This means that the unsightly patchy weathering of exterior wood cladding is no longer a problem. SiOO:X Wood Protection locks in the beauty of wood.

The system is easily installed and offers far more power and versatility, when compared to a portable vacuum. Add to this the benefits to allergy sufferers, as all of the vacuumed dust is removed and not recirculated within your property. Since 1989 VacuSystems have designed and installed a quality range of central vacuum systems and we’re the UK distributors for BVC of Germany, with over 2000 BVC systems installed throughout the UK.
