ORGANOWOOD ®:

NATURAL-LOOKING TIMBER PROTECTION INSPIRED BY NATURE particularly well on absorbent wood species such as pine and spruce, as well as pressure-treated timber, Thermowood and larch. By creating a harder and smoother surface, OrganoWood ® helps reduce the risk of cracking and splintering, while also reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Outdoor timber has a timeless appeal, bringing warmth, texture and natural character to gardens, terraces, facades and outdoor living spaces. However, timber exposed to the elements is constantly challenged by sunlight, rain, moisture and seasonal temperature changes.
Over time, this can lead to greying, cracking, surface roughness and an increased need for maintenance. OrganoWood ® offers a modern wood protection system designed to enhance and protect exterior timber while allowing it to age beautifully and naturally.
The OrganoWood ® Wood Protection System is based on patented Swedish technology inspired by nature’ s own chemistry. Using silicon-based compounds, the treatment modifies and protects the wood fibres, helping to create a more durable, smoother and more weather-resistant surface. Rather than relying on traditional oil-based wood protection methods, OrganoWood ® provides a waterbased alternative designed with sustainability and long-term performance in mind.
One of the most attractive features of the system is the way it allows timber to develop a natural silvergrey appearance. This weathered look is increasingly popular in contemporary garden design, architectural facades and outdoor spaces where a softer, more natural finish is desired. Once treated, the timber gradually changes colour through exposure to UV light and rain. The process can appear slightly uneven at first, but over time the surface develops a more uniform silver-grey tone, particularly on timber exposed to regular sunlight.
The system is especially suitable for outdoor applications such as decking, fencing, planter boxes, garden furniture, docks and untreated timber facades. It works

The complete system consists of three key products: Wood Cleaner, 01 Wood Protection and 02 Surface Protection. Wood Cleaner is used for pre-washing and maintenance, helping to prepare the timber before treatment and keep it looking fresh over time. 01 Wood Protection acts as the base treatment, penetrating and protecting the wood surface. 02 Surface Protection is then used as a topcoat to improve resistance to water and dirt, helping the timber remain cleaner and easier to maintain.
For homeowners, landscapers and architects looking for a naturallooking, lower-maintenance exterior timber treatment, OrganoWood ® provides an appealing alternative. It protects, enhances and allows wood to age gracefully, creating outdoor spaces that sit beautifully in harmony with their surroundings.
