Wood protection in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's east-coast Scottish climate combines salty haar fog from the Firth of Forth with strong winds and frost — a difficult mix for any timber façade.
Coastal climate in Edinburgh
In coastal climates with high humidity and salt exposure, we recommend SiOO:X Wood Protector in two coats with 24 hours of drying between, followed by one coat of Surface Protector. Plan a maintenance application after 2–3 years for optimal effect.
New residential developments around Edinburgh use Scottish larch and Douglas fir extensively. SiOO:X mineral protection delivers the long maintenance interval Scottish architects specify, with proven performance through Scottish winters.
