Petrify your Exterior Deck or Wood!

There is now a new sealer on the market for wood and decks that is completely unique. This new product is a one time application that will petrify your exterior wood, PERMANETLY!

Image 

CretoWood is a permanent wood sealer for exterior timber and decks like no other. I was developed to permanetly harden the interior of the wood. The  catalyst in CretoWood allows deep penetration within the layers of cells inside the wood CretoWood reacts with both the acids and the alkali present in the individual cells of most woods forming an aero silica gel on the surfaces of the cell walls. This cellular membrane forms an internal seal and barrier against water and other causes of deterioration. The 6 to 12 months following, silica gel membrane formed will turn into glass petrifying the wood treated and is effective whether applied on surfaces which will be above or below grade.

CretoWood is intended to prevent internal rot and decay. It will not stop the Sun's UV rays from discoloring the wood or prevent dirt or mildew. You will need to clean and treat your wood with a tinted stain/seal on a regular basis if you want to prevent the wood from turning gray and retaining a clean appearance. CretoWood will not hinder any top stain/sealers from properly penetrating the wood. It will not create a film on top of the wood. In many cases it can extend the life of you tinted deck stain dramatically by stabilzing the cell structure that your finishes adheres to. You can use CretoWood on any type of wood structure that is prone to rot or decay. Examples would be: Wood Houses, Log Cabins, Wood Decks, Wood Docks, Wood Fences, Wooden Window sills, etc.

Finally there is an answer to exterior wood rot and decay and it is CretoWood, as Permanent as the Pyramids!

Will this work on barns and fences? Our farm is constanly dealing with rotten
wood.

It will work on any wood, above or below grade. The only thing is that the wood
should be free of previous coatings so it can penetrate properly.

I have a cedar fence that has never been treated or cleaned. Do I need to clean
first before using the Cretowood? If I do clean will it turn gray again?
Lonestar |Y-m-d H:i:s
How is this material to be applied? Can it be painted on or does it require
submersion in the liquid preservative?

The Cretowood is very easy to apply. A pump up type sprayer is the best way.
Just apply to all visible areas of the wood. The wood should be clean and free
of any previous coatings. Best to apply to wet wood. Make sure that you do not
get the Cretowood on any glass, aluminum, or fiberglass trim. It can etch these
surfaces.

Is there a guarantee on CretoWood? Any Testimonials and References? How do I
know the product works as advertised without testimonials or references?

Creto Website



This product has been used all over the world.
Mark Meyer |Y-m-d H:i:s
"This product has been used all over the world" is not a REFERENCE, nor
a TESTIMONIAL. I need names to contact. My church board will not consider
applying a new technology product to our cedar shingle roof without some solid
proof of its effectiveness on cedar roofs. This is a large investment for us.



Thank you.
DeckRestAdmin |Y-m-d H:i:s
No need to be rude <img src=hock:' title=':shock:' class='postemoticon' /> , Did you click on the link for the Creto.net
company. They can be contacted for testimonials. That is why I put it there. :)
Mark D. Meyer |Y-m-d H:i:s
I apologize if my request sounded rude; that was not at all my intent. :( Yes,
I have contacted Creto.net, with no response. I was hoping that, since you are
a retailer of CretoWood, you might have had some feedback from your customers.
I am just trying to get some references to contact. That is what our Board
wants, which I think is only reasonable, given the large investment (and even
possible damage to a very expensive roof if the product is not good).
Mark D. Meyer |Y-m-d H:i:s
To further explain: the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau
(http://www.cedarbureau.org/installation/care-main tenance.htm) publishes a
maintenance brochure which says one should NOT purchase a product which
"makes outrageous claims (such as lasting for 10 years or longer)".
None of the local roofing contractors -- including the contractor which put our
roof on -- has ever heard of CretoWood, and they're extremely skeptical. In
addition, the engineering firm which acquired for us the Historical Society
grant which allowed us to install the cedar shingle roof recommends a
traditional product. I was a college chemistry major, and I think the science
behind the product is very compelling, but I must convince a very skeptical
board. I am fighting an uphill battle, and am admittedly frustrated; that may
have come across as rudeness, for which, again, I sincerely apologize. In
addition to the roof, I personally have a wood fence around my home which needs
sealing. If any of your customers who have purchased CretoWood could tell me of
their experience with the product, I would be grateful. Thank you!

How long following application of Cretowood can the first coat of a sealer be
applied?



Thanks,

About 2-3 days later should be more then okay
Jared |Y-m-d H:i:s
The Cretowood product information says that the product will expand when it
freezes. If I plan to use on a new wood deck that will certainly be below
freezing temperature in the winter, should I avoid this product? Or is the
freeze threat only in the raw, unused product?
DeckRestAdmin |Y-m-d H:i:s
Expand when freezing means while in the container, before applying to the wood.
Pamela |Y-m-d H:i:s
Please answer Mr. Meyer's questions. They sound very legitimate to me, and I
want to have the answers too. Many thanks!
DeckRestAdmin |Y-m-d H:i:s
The CretoWood company was going through a change of ownership back when the
first post of Mr. Meyers was made and that was why they did not respond to his
inquiries. They have since reverted back to the original owners who would be
able to answer any or all questions related to their product at
www.cretowood.com.



The problem that these types of products have is that other companies(not Creto
Int.) make outrageous claims. What they do is give a 10 or 25 year warranty on
the product on rot and decay. What they do not explain is that while you wood
will not rot or decay, it will need normal cleaning and staining if you want it
to maintain color and graying. We have never taken the approach that this
product is an end all solution to wood or deck maintenance(as other companies
have). It is a product that can be used in "addition" to regular
maintenance.

How to make use of this wonderful material? After reading the article there is
a doubt about its method of application.
DeckRestAdmin |Y-m-d H:i:s
This can be used on any type of unfinished wood. Just make sure to not get any
on glass on siding.
prasanth5 |Y-m-d H:i:s
Petrification of the exterior wood with just one application is indeed amazing.
To know that it is possible with the Cretowood sealer is good.
iwiz |Y-m-d H:i:s
Reading this article has given rise to a doubt that even after applying
Cretowood, it will not protect the wood from Sun's UV. However we entrust the
selection of the wood stain or sealer to the painter, it's that nagging point to
understand the usage on individual basis?
