Description
Find Bird Brand Creoshield Timber Treatment 4L at Masseys in Swadlincote, Derbyshire.
Bird Brand Creoshield Timber Treatment is a high-performance wood preservative designed to provide long-lasting protection to exterior timber. Specifically developed as a safer and environmentally conscious alternative to traditional creosote, Creoshield retains the classic dark finish associated with creosote while offering a lower-odour, more user-friendly formula. Ideal for fencing, sheds, barns, agricultural buildings, and other external wood structures, this treatment deeply penetrates timber to shield it from weathering, fungal decay, and wood-boring insects.
Bird Brand Creoshield Features
Creosote-Style Finish: Mimics the dark, rich colour of traditional creosote for a professional, rustic appearance.
Deep Penetration Formula: Soaks into wood grain to protect from within, improving durability and water resistance.
Improved Safety: Lower odour and refined composition, offering a safer handling experience and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional creosote.
UV and Weather Resistant: Resists damage caused by sun exposure and wet weather, maintaining protection throughout the seasons.
Insect and Fungal Protection: Acts as a preservative barrier against wood rot, mould, mildew, and wood-eating insects.
Versatile Application: Suitable for use on rough-cut timber, including fence posts, gates, sleepers, and outbuildings.
