We have long wooden pergola and no longer as beautiful as it once was? Wood is a really naturally beautiful material, but the effects of climate change is burdened and hampered it is therefore necessary to pay him a quality maintenance.
Reasons for wood restoration
Wooden Pergolas, gazebos, patios, fences and siding are burdened not only by the sun, but also moisture, mold and various pests. If we want them to feel comfortable, so we have against these external influences protected, making the most coatings using.
When to start with the renovation of wood?
Generally, the correction should come at a time when it is disturbed only a surface coating of wood. If environmental influences begins to subject themselves and wood, it is often too late. In this case, it is worth considering whether our old, worn, wooden pergola is not time to replace less maintenance, like
aluminum pergola. They are currently manufactured in a very broad and interesting menu and are ideal for those who do not have much time.
Workflow
From the wood surface, remove dirt, dust and grease, preferably sand old paint, clean and dry. The next step is penetration. Penetration should soak into the wood. After penetration use glaze coat. The best are thin glaze. If you want to use a top coat, which covers the texture of the wood is required to use paint suitable for exterior. Must be sufficiently flexible and robust to withstand climate change. In this case, rather we create several very thin layers rather than one large coat. We finish work using paint to the exterior.
Tips:
The coating approach ideally no wind, so we do not get paint impurities. Let each coat of paint to dry sufficiently long period of time, thereby enhancing their performance and durability.
