Oil
Based Wood Sealers were developed as by-products of the oil industry. The ultra-violet
(UV) inhibitors which are meant to protect the wood from the sun's rays to prevent
deterioration are mixed into the oil base but remain in suspension because of
the character of the oil, which does not allow blending. Since there is no blending,
protection is only given where the UV's are suspended. Which leaves gaps allowing
the Sun's Ultra-Violet rays to penetrate deep into the wood, weakening it's structure
integrity. This is why some fences have to be replaced so quickly, eventually
with little force applied, the wood will just break off .
Within these gaps other things take place such as deep penetration of airborne
Pollutants which eat away at the wood similar to the way rust eats away at metal.
Turning the wood a gray color, the grayer the wood the greater the damage. But
in the Oil based sealer the part were there is just oil and no UV inhibitors the
ultra-violet rays from the Sun actually cook the oil turning the wood a dark black
color.
All
of these individual actions bring about quickly the erosion of the sealant its
self, once the sealant goes erosion of the wood starts. Average replacement cost
for a wood fence in the Dallas / Fort Worth area is $30 per running foot, average
yard is 150 to 200 sq. ft. which comes to $4,500.00 to $6,000.00.
Most
water based sealants that you would purchase at the national chain hardware store,
were made by the same companies that sell the do-it-yourself oil based products,
as a substitute for their cash cow, their oil product. It is a classic example
of "conflict of interest" theses companies are set up to sell their
oil product which is environmentally hazardous. Their water based sealants are
designed to fail, so that the costumer would return to their oil product.
Water
based TurtleSeal® was designed to succeed! Treating wood decks on ocean going
yachts which are exposed to the harshest Sun and salt water corrosion, what could
be a better laboratory?
First
to stop the damage that airborne pollutants are doing to the wood we use TurtleSeal®
Deck Wash that kills any fungus or algae growth that is occurring. This cleans
and restores the wood to its natural color as we power wash in preparation for
the TurtleSeal® Stain and Sealant that the owner chooses.
TurtleSeal's®
deep-penetrating acrylic resin blends perfectly with the ultra-violet (UV) inhibitors
so that they become at one with the resin. The thinness of the water base median
allows the resin with inhibitors to go much deeper into the wood penetrating as
far down as any liquid substance can go into wood. After several hours actually
3 days all the water dries and all that is left is the sealant.
Airborne
pollutants and dirt which cannot penetrate the sealant, have to lay only on the
surface to be washed away by rain or water hose.
Restoration
of 12 year old deck that had never had wood sealer of any kind on it!
Before
/ After
What
happens if I do not use a wood sealant on my fence?
You have no protection from the elements, airborne
pollutants from automobiles and factories, attack the wood turning it a dull grey
color.
Your fence or deck's life span is cut in
half, with better grade wood 20 yrs. is cut down to 10 yrs. in lesser grade wood
10 yrs. is cut down to 5 yrs.
That's thousands of
dollars being destroyed in your back yard 24 hrs. a day 7 days a week.
Deterioration
Cost $$$
Seal now to extend
your investment, at only a fraction of its original cost or its
replacement cost.
Can
I restore an old damaged fence or deck
and stop the deterioration done?
Some
amount of deterioration has already been done, especially if no sealant has ever
been used.
With our specialty formulated wash all of the airborne
pollutants, mold and mildew along with any burnt oil stain residue can be power
washed off.
Taking the wood back to its new look, then we TurtleSeal
