Safewood Anti-Viral Mattwood is a clear, matt-finish topcoat designed to provide both fire protection and antimicrobial defence for interior timber. Applied over Thermoguard Fire Varnish Basecoat as part of a certified system, it achieves BS EN Class B s2 d0 fire rating while actively killing coronavirus, flu and harmful bacteria on contact.
Ideal for doors, frames, sills and trim in high-traffic areas such as schools, care homes, hospitals and housing, this advanced varnish delivers a durable, decorative finish with built-in protection. It reduces bacteria by 99% in 4 hours and coronavirus by 93.4% in just 2 hours, according to ISO-approved testing.
Whether you’re upgrading existing timber or working on new installations, Safewood Mattwood is a reliable choice for both fire safety compliance and hygiene-critical environments.
Surface Preparation
-
Ensure all wood surfaces are clean, dry and sound
-
Remove any loose, flaking or suspect coatings
-
Abrade smooth or glossy surfaces with 120-grit abrasive to provide a mechanical key
-
Degrease with a suitable cleaner and wipe clean
-
Previously varnished surfaces must be well abraded and cleaned thoroughly
-
For knotty woods or light shades, treat knots with shellac-free sealer if required
Note: Apply only over Safewood Basecoat or Thermoguard Fire Varnish Basecoat for fire-rated performance.
