Timber Expo: Sansin’s coat of colours
5 October 2013Silva Timber, which stocks the Canadian wood coating Sansin, was also on the Ontario stand.
Sansin has been manufactured in Canada for about 25 years, and Silva Timber has stocked it for about 12 months.
"Sales are going well, especially on the back of this year's good summer," said the company's Graham Avery. "The name is getting out there."
The coating can be applied by brush or sprayed on in the factory, so Silva Wood is targeting both end users and manufacturers of timber products such as decking and cladding.
Mr Avery said Sansin, which is available in 80 colours, was ideal for British weather as it expanded and contracted with the timber.
