Barrettine CreoSolve 4L is a low-odour, oil-based wood treatment designed as a safer alternative to traditional creosote. Formulated without biocides, it offers similar water-repellent and protective qualities, making it ideal for exterior timbers such as fence panels, posts, and sheds. With a bitumen and wax blend, this treatment penetrates deeply into the wood to help reduce swelling, twisting, and cracking while providing a classic, traditional finish once dry. Suitable for rough, sawn, or smooth timber, it is for outdoor use only.
