It was definitely worth the wait for Protek as their return to GLEE attracted a lot of attention. Showcasing their comprehensive retail woodcare range on merchandising stands complete with eye-catching display boards and hand-painted wooden colour display strips, drew a lot of positive feedback and serious enquiries from buyers.

Protek also announced the addition of Restol™ wood oil to offer retailers and consumers an oil-based alternative to the water-based timber treatments they manufacture at their factory in Somerset. Ben from Protek says “We are very excited to become the UK distributors of Restol™ and will be offering it to retailers and direct to consumers via an online shop that we designed and built specifically for the wood oil range.

“Restol™ is a high-performing wood oil based on linseed oil that offers a durable, water-repellent protective coating. It is available in a wide range of colours including Naturel UV Extra, a clear wood oil with UV blocker that preserves the original colour of the timber for up to 2 years. Restol™ wood oil produces a transparent to semi-transparent coating and sits well with our range of Protek water-based wood stains.”

Also launched at GLEE was Total Panel Plus, a revolutionary coloured dip treatment for fence panels and sheds. Total Panel Plus is designed and authorised to provide effective protection against the mould and staining fungi that attack and discolour timber. 

In an industry first, Total Panel Plus dip treatment is designed and formulated so that the colour lasts 2 years. Developed in full accordance with the latest biocidal regulations, BPR; Total Panel Plus is heralded as the future of panel dip protection.
