Creoseal Creosote Substitute – 4 Litre
Long-Lasting Protection for Exterior Timber
The Creoseal Creosote Substitute is the ideal solution for protecting and enhancing your outdoor wooden surfaces. Designed as a modern alternative to traditional creosote, this high-performance timber treatment delivers powerful water-repellent and weatherproofing qualities without the harshness or legal restrictions of old-style creosote. Whether you’re maintaining fence panels, posts, sheds, barns, or garden furniture, this 4-litre tin provides dependable protection with professional results.
Modern Formulation, Classic Performance
Creoseal Creosote Substitute offers the benefits of traditional wood preservatives with a more environmentally considerate, user-friendly formula. It deeply penetrates timber, delivering a rich finish while guarding against rot, mould, algae, and wood-boring insects. Unlike traditional creosote, this substitute is less odorous, safer to handle, and legal for sale and use by the general public.
It is available in both light and dark shades of brown, offering aesthetic flexibility while complementing the natural grain and beauty of the wood. Once dry, it leaves a protective semi-matt sheen that repels rain, slowing down water ingress and reducing the risk of decay.

How to Use Creoseal Creosote Substitute
Before applying, ensure the wood is dry, free from dust, and ideally untreated. Stir the Creoseal Creosote Substitute well and apply using a suitable brush or spray system. Coverage may vary depending on the porosity and condition of the surface, but each 4-litre tin typically covers approximately 6-8 square metres per litre per coat.
For best results, apply in dry weather when rain is not expected for 24 hours. One to two coats will provide good protection, with a third coat recommended for aged or heavily weathered wood.
