The wood continues to undergo changes and variations even after cut and processed for the manufacture of different elements. It is a natural material that reacts to external agents, such as weather (humidity, ultraviolet rays, cold, heat...) or woodworm and other xylophagous insects. In addition, it suffers the wear and tear caused by the passage of time.
So, so that the wood, as much of exterior as of interior, looks perfect during more time it is necessary to treat it of periodic form with the suitable products.
When choosing the most appropriate treatment and finish for the wood, the place where it is going to be exposed and the possible enemies that can affect its deterioration have an influence. In the case of a wooden house located outdoors, its protection is even more important, since it will be exposed daily to inclement weather, which can affect its duration, if appropriate measures are not taken.
In our catalogue you can find all the products necessary to protect both exterior and interior wood elements, which also provide an ideal finish that highlights the natural attractiveness of wood.
For example, bottom treatments are a type of breathable primer that penetrates the fibres of the wood without closing its pores, and serve to prevent changes in the colour of the wood due to UV rays and fungi. In addition, they incorporate fungicides to combat mould, thus increasing the duration and useful life of any element made of wood.
The antiworm primer is suitable for exterior and interior wood elements, and any kind of finish can be applied to this product. However, it can also be used as a final finish, as they are available in different shades.
Lasures, on the other hand, are products designed to protect and decorate the wood conveniently. In other words, after application, the wood obtains a decorative finish, but, unlike paints and varnishes, it does not close the pores, penetrating into the heart of the wood, as do the primers. They are usually applied after the primer, and there are satin and matt, although they do not cover the veins of the wood to make the finish more attractive.
Lasures are especially suitable for the exterior, as they allow the wood to continue breathing, which guarantees that it will look perfect for a long time. Paints and varnishes, due to inclement weather, crack, as they prevent moisture from the interior of the wood to come out. Although there are special varnishes indicated to protect the woods of the exterior against the sun and the humidity, in addition to having anti-carcomas properties.
Wood oils also provide very efficient protection. These oils are mixed with natural resins that impregnate the wood, protecting and nourishing it. In addition, these oils create a waterproof layer that repels water, and provide a darker and more eye-catching effect to the wood. They can be applied with a brush or rag, leaving a time interval between each layer so that the product is properly absorbed by the wood. The most commonly used is teak oil, which can also be applied to other types of wood and is available in various shades.
It is also worth mentioning the special teak oil for long-lasting floors, which offers ideal care for wood flooring installed in homes, since, in addition to providing a perfect finish, they offer greater resistance to the daily impact suffered by floors in homes and establishments.
When applying any product from this range in DIY work, such as the restoration of furniture, outdoor fences or wooden houses, the surface must be sanded and the remains of dust, sawdust and dirt must be well cleaned. In this sense, a finish with two or even three coats will give a better final result. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to find out more about the number of coats, drying times and other details that are important for the correct application.
