When the new house is completed, clean untreated wood is often not only outdoors but also indoors. The log is a material whose natural beauty is to be shown, but still needs to be protected. Outdoors, untreated wood is protected from the effects of moisture and the sun's UV light, and indoors, wood surfaces are also protected from dirt.

The protection of untreated wood outdoors over the winter

Often it takes the whole summer to set up a house, and there may not be time to handle the exterior surfaces. Particularly, it is desirable to leave the planer log surfaces for a year or two before the final surface treatment, as the fresh planer log is except for smooth, slippery and dense, which still contains extracts and resins, which, before its evaporation, interfere with the ability of the wood to take surface treatment agents.

The mold protection is a binder -free film -free fluid that can be sprayed on the surface and left to dry. As a biocidal basis, it destroys and prevents superficial mold and algae growth. We always recommend using mold protection before being painted.

Protection of untreated wood from dirt and darkening indoors

However, when the natural beauty of the wood with its causes and patterns is to be kept as part of the interior, it is advisable to protect the surface of the wood from moisture and dirt. Colorless opaque paint treatment gives a washing resistant surface, but does not prevent the natural tendency of the wood to darken and yellow over time.

The opaque paint provides protection on the surface and withstands wiping and washing well. Unlike wax treatments, the opaque paint does not prevent surface painting at a later stage.

Lightening of the wood surface with an opaque paint

Treatment with white tinted paint lightens the color of the wood, but leaves its patterns. If you want a particularly thin, almost unobtrusive layer on the surface of the wood, you can mix the tinted opaque paint, for example 1: 1. Additional protection on the surface is obtained by treating it with an unaddressed product 1-2 times.

Ella Kanninen's summer cottage darkened circular logs were made of glass crushed blast, after which they were vacuumed, wiped and bleached by painting twice with a white tinted Uula. "As I thought about the color of my cottage in the interior walls, it was clear that I did not want a light deer surface cleaned with glass crushing blast completely. Thus, painting was not an option. Ella was the perfect choice," Ella says in Jokanainen's Cottage Repair book.

"I noticed that when painting, it is a good idea to go one long log at a time: when painting end to end, the result is as smooth as possible. At times, it was tempted to paint overlapping logs, but the imprint was not uniform," Ella describes her painting experience and advises, "Also, let the hearing paint dry well after the first painting.

If the wood surface has previously been treated with some film -forming agent, the opaque paint will not be absorbed evenly and beautifully into the cause of the wood, but remains on the surface, leaving the brush traces on the surface.

Test the hearing treatment to achieve the desired result

There is always a reason to do tests on a separate similar and shade of interference before the actual treatment to achieve the desired result. The roughness of the wood surface and its own color affect the final color, as well as the thickness of the treatment or the number of times.

Also, try different tools and techniques. The brush is usually the best tool for the opaque paint, but you can also use a leveling or painting brush. When dealing with plywood, a sponge or a lint -free cloth may be a better option.

The oil hood provides a wear resistant surface that excels from moisture and dirt in both dry and humid areas, and is very resistant to washing. It is absorbed into the cause of the untreated wood and leaves a silky -matured surface, maintaining the natural feel of the tree under the bare leg. It is also ideal for cold indoors.

If the surfaces treated with oil sparkling at a later stage are to be painted with a covering paint, the oil hood will not prevent the use of other paint products on it.

The sauna mullet is suitable for roof and wall panels, log surfaces, doors, benches and railing trees for sauna and washrooms.

Both the sauna cult and the oil hood are also suitable for use on the inside of the outdoor sauna.
