Finishing and maintenance products for decking and wooden frontage covering (8)

The advice given by Sherwin-Williams is aimed at industry and, if need be, varnish companies. The company has launched Laqvin Fast Dry Cladding coatings and includes primers, second coats, and combi-coatings. Laqvin Fast Dry Waterborne and Laqvin Fast Dry Waterborne UV crank up production capacity considerably by shortening the drying time.

Some wood sorts can be exposed perfectly well to outdoor weather without the need for additional protection. We mention them in sequence, namely cedar, douglas, and larch. Other wood sorts are also strongly weatherproof thanks to a preliminary treatment (e.g. in a steriliser or a thermal treatment). Anyone wanting to protect the wood will aim primarily to preserve its original colour.

Wood outside (cladding, window frames, shutters, fences, etc) needs to be protected against atmospheric agents they are permanently submitted to; sun, rain, freezing and also moulds and moss speeds up its deterioration and ageing process.

As soon as the wood meets the requirements of class 3b (naturally durable), it no longer requires any treatment. Yet, like all other wood sorts, these sorts will also eventually age under the influence of sunlight. And so, the decision to treat becomes an aesthetic one: some people opt for ageing, whilst others want to retain the original colour of the wood.

The purpose of treating outdoor wood is twofold, namely colouring and protecting. Although a natural ageing look can be very attractive, there are nevertheless enough reasons for treating the wood. Wooden exterior wall cladding does not come cheap, so it is advisable to protect it sufficiently in order to guarantee its tenability.

Chimiver Panseri has extended its assortment of products for outdoor wood treatment. LIOS SUNDECK CLIMA+ is a water-based impregnating oil for wood with UV absorption double technology. Thanks to this innovation, LIOS SUNDECK CLIMA+ is particularly resistant to the action of UV radiation, both direct and indirect.

The purpose of treating wooden exterior walls is to counteract ageing and any fungi. This will also automatically counteract insects and the rotting of the wood. To this end, Ciranova has two sorts of products, namely the Eco-protector and the UVP system. The Eco-protector is available in eight colours and is designed to protect wood sorts such as wood which contains resin, exotic wood, and European deciduous trees.

A number of wood sorts can be exposed to outdoor weather conditions without the need for additional protection. We list these in sequence, namely cedar, douglas, and larch. Other wood sorts also acquire strong weather-resistance thanks to a prior treatment (e.g. in a steriliser or a thermal treatment). Anyone who wants to protect wood looks primarily to preserve the original colour. This can only be done through protection against UV rays.
