4 facts about SIGA Wetguard®

19 Jun 2025

Launched in autumn 2020, SIGA Wetguard® protects timber building elements during construction. Learn four essential facts about its benefits and why it’s a must-have for your projects.

 

1. It protects against water ingress into the construction

The main task of SIGA Wetguard® is to prevent water from entering the wood. It’s job is to protect against moisture damage. The moisture protection membrane is rainproof and diffusion-open in order to optimally protect the component from water ingress. At the same time, it still allows the residual moisture to dry out.

2. From the production hall to after assembly

SIGA Wetguard® 200 SA reliably protects prefabricated wooden elements against moisture and damage during storage, transport, installation and the construction phase. It prevents moisture damage such as visible discolouration or surface tension and dimensional inaccuracies due to swelling of the wooden elements.

3. The wood look is retained

With the transparent optics of SIGA Wetguard® not only markings or penetrations applied in the factory remain visible but also the characteristic surface structure of the wooden material.

4. Robust and non-slip

The film is robust against mechanical stress, even when wet, and is non-slip, thus providing safety for workers during installation and construction.
