Use Case: Wood Preservation
Permanent Wood Protection -- Fire Retardant, Termite Proof, Waterproof
Everwood is a water-based mineralizing preservative that penetrates deep into wood and binds permanently within the cellulose. It triples the useful service life of structural timber while adding fire resistance and termite protection -- something no surface varnish can do.

Head-to-Head Comparison
Everwood vs. Standard Wood Varnishes (Surface Film Finishes)
| Property | Everwood | Standard Wood Varnishes |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Binds permanently to internal cellulose structure | Surface film that peels, flakes, and degrades |
| Fire Retardancy | Yes -- adds fire resistance to treated wood | None -- standard varnishes offer no fire protection |
| Termite / Insect Protection | Yes -- inhibits insect damage at the cellulose level | None -- surface varnishes do not deter insects |
| Waterproofing | Permanent, internal -- cannot wear away | Temporary surface coating, vulnerable to weathering |
| Reapplication | No periodic reapplication needed | Requires re-coating every 1-3 years |
| Toxicity | Non-toxic, water-based, safe around people and animals | Often solvent-based with VOC emissions |
| Service Life | Triples the useful service life of treated timber | Standard treatment lifecycle, no extension |

Three Protections in One Treatment
Fire Retardant
Adds fire resistance
Mineralized wood exhibits reduced flame spread and improved fire performance
Termite Proof
Inhibits insect damage
Cellulose-level mineralization deters termites and wood-boring insects
Waterproof
Permanent, internal
Minimizes water load within the wood to stop rot and decay at the source
Non-Toxic
Water-based, safe
Safe for use around people, animals, and the environment -- no harmful solvents
Service Life
3x Normal Lifespan
How It Works
Step 1: Penetration
Deep absorption through natural wood porosity.
Step 2: Mineralization
Absorbs and binds permanently within the cellulose.
Step 3: Protection
Minimized water load stops rot and insects; adds fire resistance.
