WoodSteel removes the enemies of wood and cellulose life by forming a silicon shield that prevents water intrusion virtually stopping rot and decay and greatly reducing swelling and cracking for years.  WoodSteel's barrier is seamless and especially durable.  It molecularly bonds with and becomes part of the substrate (wood-drywall-etc) and is not just a coating on top of the surface like paint or glue. The barrier formed is a union of WoodSteel and the material it was applied upon and becomes a remarkable, protective water resistant barrier that greatly extends the life of natural wood, pressure treated wood, OSB board, drywall and building materials made from wood and wood by-products.
