WHAT IS WOODGUARD?

Woodguard is a one coat total exterior wood finishing system from ISK Biocides. Woodguard is a deep penetrating, oil based, EPA registered wood preservative and log home finish. Woodguard will protect your log home for up to three years when applied according to the manufacturer’s directions. Woodguard is designed for use on log homes, cedar or pine siding, as well as shake shingles and fences. The coating is available in six natural wood tone tints. Woodguard Wood Preservative has been reformulated to provide even better protection for your home. Woodguard’s new formulation penetrates deeper into the wood to provide substantially improved water repellency. The addition of Titanium Dioxide to the Woodguard formula provides enhanced color retention, fade resistance and delivers substantially improved UV protection. The Woodguard Log Home Finish System will protect your exterior wood for up to three years when applied per the manufacturer’s instructions. Additional coats of Woodguard can be applied after three years and will extend the wood protection for an additional five years.

HOW DOES WOODGUARD WORK?

Woodguard Wood Preservative’s oil formula penetrates deeply into the wood, coating the wood cells, where it molecularly bonds into the wood. It cures in a liquid state and remains flexible. Woodguard will not harden or crack through a wide temperature and moisture extremes. Woodguard is an EPA registered Wood Preservative which makes your wood toxic to powder post beetles, termites and other wood eating insects.

WOODGUARD IS UV STABLE!

Woodguard's active ingredient, Copper-8-Quinolinolate, is UV stable and will not break down during long term sun exposure. In addition, Woodguard contains Titanium Dioxide and Trans Oxide Pigment UV Blockers to minimize the effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING WOODGUARD?

Woodguard protects against cupping, curling and warping. It controls fungus, wood decay, mold, mildew, termites and anobiid (powder post) beetles with its EPA registered wood preservative Copper-8-Quinolinolate. Woodguard's oil based formula penetrates deeply into the wood and provides excellent water repellency. Woodguard cures below the surface to enhance the natural beauty of the wood for years to come.

CAN WOODGUARD BE APPLIED TO DECKS?

Woodguard should not be applied to deck floors, railings, or other horizontal surfaces. It can't sufficiently penetrate pressure treated wood, and will not hold up under direct sunlight and foot traffic. Since WOODguard remains flexible in wood you could get an odor or oily residue on clothing and shoes.

IS ANY REGULAR MAINTENACE REQUIRED TO KEEP THE WOODGUARD FINISH LOOKING GREAT?

Logfinish.com recommends that your Woodguard finish be washed annually with Log Wash to remove accumulations of pollen and environmental dirt. Just spray on the Log Wash per the directions and lightly pressure wash. Keep rinsing until all foam is rinsed away.

WHAT SURFACE PREPARATION IS NEEDED TO APPLY WOODGUARD?

Surfaces to be coated with Woodguard should be clean and free of all loose debris. Mill Glaze (often present on new wood) must be removed prior to Woodguard application. Logfinish.com recommends X-180 Weathered Wood Restorer to clean wood and remove mill glaze. When using this product make sure that all surfaces that have been cleaned have been thoroughly rinsed with clean water. For best results make sure that all wood to be coated has a moisture content of 18% or less. Wet wood allows the growth of mold and mildew beneath the surface of the Woodguard coating.

WOODGUARD IS EASY TO APPLY!

Woodguard is easy to apply via brush, coarse spray or roller. Just apply Woodguard until the wood refuses to take any more. Woodguard does its job in just one initial coat. Logfinish.com recommends that you apply Woodguard with a pump up type garden sprayer such as a Solo Model 475 and then back brush the product into the wood. Woodguard cleans up easily with mineral spirits. Best results are achieved when you apply Woodguard until the wood refuses to take any more. Woodguard should always be applied at temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Cure time for Woodguard will range from 3 days to several weeks depending on temperature conditions and wood porosity.

CAN WOODGUARD BE APPLIED WITH AN AIRLESS SPRAYER?

Only Woodguard TC can be applied with an airless sprayer. Woodguard Wood Preservative is not designed for application with an airless sprayer! Airless Sprayers over-atomize the product and 25-30% is lost to the ground. Airless sprayers apply too thin a coat of Woodguard Wood Preservative and not the heavy saturation coat that Woodguard requires.

WILL WOODGUARD PROTECT MY HOME AGAINST CARPENTER BEES?

No. Carpenter bees drill into the wood but do not eat the wood. To protect your home from carpenter bees add NBS 30 or Bug Juice to your Woodguard.See the Stain Additives section of this website for further information on these products. For spot infestations of Carpenter Bees in between stain applications use BeeGone mixed with water and applied per instructions with a pump up insecticide sprayer.
