Wood is the most environmentally friendly, strong, reliable and aesthetic material for construction. However, unfortunately, also very exposed to external and internal enemies. And there are enough such a long time by the tree. Flame, moisture, mold, ultraviolet, insects, rodents and microorganisms – you can’t mention everyone.

Only special chemicals called antiseptics can maintain a wooden building from destruction – a variety of impregnations and coatings. Impregnations are characteristic of antifungal and antimicrobial effects – a kind of drug for wood. The impregnation is that the solution is absorbed deeply (up to 10 mm) into a tree, exerting an antimicrobial bactericidal effect.
But the coating methodology has a slightly different. The superficial coating is a certain elastic film with a water -repellent effect, which protects the tree from moisture and eliminating it by impregnation. Western impregnation in a very short time will lose its properties under the influence of water. This covering film does not prevent the tree from “breathing” at all – vapor -shaped moisture passes through it, which over time accumulates in wood. The films also contain metal oxides that prevent the destructive effect of ultraviolet rays, which can ruin the appearance of wood-under this radiation, wood loses color, becomes dimly gray.
Finish films are of various colors, transparent and translucent, shiny and matte. Transparent films emphasize the texture of the tree, distinguish the patterns of cut. Translucent color gives the tree the necessary shade, without hiding the textures and patterns of wood.
Impregnations and coatings are classified into compounds for the production of external and internal work. And there are universal combined compositions.
It is known that the best way to defeat the problem is to prevent it. Well, what if the harmful bug has already made hollow in the wall, or blue-green mold stains flaunt in the corners? In principle, everything can be fixed – you need to choose only a special composition used for already spoiled wood.
And it should be borne in mind that each antiseptic has its own life. At the end of this period, it is better – a little earlier a protective layer on the surface of the tree will have to be updated – this is the only way to keep the tree as long as possible healthy and beautiful.
