Wykabor Boron Wood Treatments are based on water-soluble borate, a timber preservative that has been extensively researched over the last 50 years and provides effective treatment against woodworm and other wood-boring insects.

The products in our Boron Wood Treatments range are also formulated for use against fungal decay such as Dry Rot and Wet Rot.

Compared with other wood treatments, borates have the distinct advantage of exhibiting superb penetration into damp timber. Hence they can be used in high-risk areas such as embedded joist ends, lintels, wall plates, etc...

The benefits of using Boron Wood Treatments are well recognised by architects and those in the building restoration industry. They are often specified on high-profile, prestigious projects where re-treatment is not an option.

In many situations, the high performance of these products may allow ordinal timbers to be retained that would otherwise have had to be replaced. This is obviously an advantage when treating historic buildings.
