Today, timber is one of the most popular building materials throughout Australia. The main 
reason for this is its strength and durability. It also looks good and has proved to be an 
excellent environmentally friendly solution. Though timber is a good and sturdy material, no 
one can deny the fact that it can deteriorate over time. It is, therefore, important to protect and 
treat it efficiently, so it would last for years to come.
Waterproof Your Timber
Water is one of the elements, that can cause quick deterioration of your wood. The best 
thing to do here is to waterproof your timber. Waterproofing your timber would prevent 
warping, rotting, cracking and quick deterioration. Timber, if not treated well, accumulates 
water. Once the water dries up, the timber contracts. This cycle of contracting and 
expanding will eventually damage the timber causing it to crack and warp. The best way to 
protect your timber is to use a proper sealant. The most common sealants include:

• Epoxy resin
• Non-toxic waterproofing formulas
• Waterproofing oils like linseed oil and tung oil
Treat the Scratches & Marks
Scratches and marks are inevitable on timber floorings 
and furniture, no matter how careful you are. This is 
because most of the things are dropped, dragged or 
placed daily. You can remove these scratches. If the 
scratches are light, just polish the surface with cotton, 
wool or microfibre cloth. If the scratches are a bit deep, 
you can use a touch-up pen. For extremely deeper 
scratches, you need to talk to experts.
