How do you keep the wood to stand up to the weather

For those who love the classic style, the wood is not the best option, no doubt about it. However, when I select it – whether it's for a floor covering, composed of the furniture, or to other destinations, must pay attention to the conservation of the species. The correct maintenance guarantees the long life and durability. Whenever you build a project or construction, please refer to the professional in charge of technical research, the conservation techniques that are appropriate for that particular project, because different types of wood, or in the same way as it is used in the design can be change at last, and by increasing or decreasing its service life.

Tips on how to maintain the wood

General care of the wood

It's never too much to remember but the main thing that can lead to the wood to keep the paint in a day. the paint creates a layer of scratch-resistant, and waterproof that prevents the effects of humidity and incidence of pests on the inside of the piece of wood. In general, it is considered that the wood may have a life span of up to 5 years before needing a recoat, after all, and with the passing of processing time, the layer of the ink and end up losing their ability to seal, so you will need to paint the wood.

painting regularly is a key to prolonging the service life of the wood

For the varnish, the care is even greater. Varnish for wood, they tend to have a lower durability when exposed to the sun and rain,such as in the case of a fence made of wood. The contrast of the wood and the signs of wear and tear of the varnish is very clear: it will simply start to peel off. At the rst sign of this phenomenon is to provide an overcoating, to ensure the durability of the piece.

Cleaning of wooden parts

Where possible, keep items that the wood is protected from weather elements such as rain, sun, wind) so that it does not cause physical deformities, such as loss of color, fiber, damaged, dry, among other things. Wood is a material that can be swollen with water, which plays an important role in its deterioration, as well as the creation of a partnership in the area. Because of this, clean it daily with a dry cloth, a vacuum cleaner, a broom than by helping to preserve the earth, so that it will avoid build up of dust. Feather duster isn't the best choice, since it “spreads out” the dust in the air, and what not, would really clean up. Even a damp cloth can remove the grout of the planks, so the less moisture, the better.

The materials that can be harmful to the preservation of wood, alcohol, steel wool, abrasive material, since it produces wear and tear by abrasion, solvents, such as acetone or thinner, kerosene, among others, for the coating of finish on the wood, it will surely ruin it (the lacquer has to be reinforced at least every two years or so, if not, just break down). Be sure to always keep the temperature and humidity of the environment are stable. If you decide to put furniture on the wooden floors, put the felt and/or rubber to avoid marks, and don't drag them in the future. As well as to use shoes that have metal studs on the base (of the heel thin, worn by the women, it is one of the great villains of the wood. A good tip is to use rugs where there is a greater flow of traffic.

Conservation of the hardwood floors

Hardwood floors are split in the wood, and laminates (strips or parquês, carpets, floors). Don't pass up any chemicals. The laminate is protected with a melamine resin (a plastic termorrígido and resistance). Damp cloths are sufficient for their conservation. Do not use silicone-based products for the wax, it forms a greasy film on the surface, causing the appearance of a stain (especially the darker spots in the wood, more light). Not to use chairs with wheels as they scratch the protective film on both the wood and the surface of the laminate.

Conservation of doors and windows in wood

If you find that you are having difficulty opening and/or closing of the wooden door, to see what's going on, because it is a sign of the presence of moisture. Do not slam the doors as they can warp. Ideally, in the case of doors and windows sticking is to grind out the points at which the pieces are not putting themselves in the right to reduce the friction, thereby facilitating the flow of the piece.

The Oil of the Mahogany, as it is more commonly known, and that, in fact, it is a registered trademark of the polishing furniture, it helps to moisturize, shine and protect the wood in addition to giving shine. The wax is colorless and preserves the wood and does not harm the surface. Protect furniture with plastic sheets or other materials, will also contribute to the longevity of the wood. You can find these covers in the stores of the hive, and even in the grocery stores.

The plagues of the general attack on the wood

Pests, such as fungi, termites, insects and bits (unfortunately alone) to cause major damage to the wood. The fungi appear later in the wood, a lot of time out in the sun or in the rain, in high humidity and heat, etc.). In addition to this, it causes horrible seizures allergic reactions. This is why you always put nail varnish (which is as made-fungicide (a substance meant to combat such micro-organisms) and pesticides (used to kill insects)). The beetles attack in groups to huge, from wooden objects and furniture, and even books and picture frames. Their presence is easily noticed when there is a dust close to the pussies that they are. There are products on the market that you go through in your wood, do not let them get in. If you find holes, to inject the product carefully and go through all the wood. In a week, you don't have any results, re-apply the product. The termite, also stops the dust from beneath the site, which there, but, unlike in the case of some, they will be destroying them from the inside, leaving it hollow; and then, when you realize that dust may be too late.
