To ensure that your home always looks its best, effective UV protection is essential to prevent, in particular conifers ah, the destruction of lignin.
Often, best protection allow you to achieve highly pigmented paints, as the pigments provide the maximum possible reflection of ultraviolet radiation.
ADLER is a leading European manufacturer of protective equipment and decorative finishes timber for houses. For several years now, the company's specialists have been developing a coating for those who want to preserve the natural color of wood, without giving a tint.
A successful solution to this issue was the product line Aquawood Ligno+ And Lignovit Protect.
Aquawood Ligno+ product line:
- Aquawood Ligno+ Top (59111)
Water-borne, high-transparent top coat based on acrylic/polyurethane dispersions. - Aquawood Ligno + Base (57960)
Water-borne wood protection impregnation for industrial purposes based on special alkyd/acrylic dispersion paints for softwood (coniferous wood). - Aquawood Ligno+ Sealer spritzfertig (59114)
Water soluble intermediate coat based on acrylic dispersion with good filling power and favorable conditions for grinding. - Aquawood Ligno + Sealer (59110)
Waterborne intermediate coat based on acrylic and polyurethane dispersions. Protected from damage by blue and mold.Lignovit Protect product line:
- Lignovit Protect Finish (53291)
Water-soluble, colorless top coat for wood. UV resistant, excellent moisture protection with long lasting water repellency. The covering is protected from defeat by a mold fungus and blue. - Lignovit IG Protect (53290)
Colorless protective impregnation for wood on water based for coniferous wood. Does not require dimensional accuracy, hazard class (application class) The product is not suitable for non-ferrous hardwood wood such as meranti, mahogany, etc. - Aquawood Protect (53215, 53216)
Water-thinnable, semi-gloss, colorless top coat based on polyurethane dispersion. Does not yellow and does not contain biocides.*It is worth noting that clear UV protected systems can only provide sufficient protection for up to 5 years and require maintenance at short intervals (approximately every two years).
On wood with low resistance (spruce, pine, etc.) used in exterior finish, before applying the main coating, apply a biocidal impregnation (primer) from blue and rot.
Only in this way can sufficient effective protection wood.
The impregnation is applied with a brush in one layer (according to the subsequent painting with a water-based or solvent-based glaze).
With medium-dark and dark azure, about 10% of the colored azure, which is supposed to be used in the subsequent application, should be added to the impregnation.
This will result in more enjoyable color shades, facilitate the work and obtain a high-quality coating.

Whatever type of coverage you choose, keep the following in mind:
- Many outdoor wood products contain antiseptic additives that can cause severe allergic reactions. Do not use exterior paint or lacquer on food contact items.
- Allow lumber to dry thoroughly before using pres- sure treated lumber. In warm and dry summer weather, it will take about three weeks to dry.
Wood needs a sun umbrella and a raincoat
- For wood exploited on outdoors, there are two main enemies - the sun and rain.
- A short storage of wooden products (even without finishing) in a dry place can protect them from both the sun and rain.
The ultraviolet radiation (UV) of the sun almost immediately begins to destroy the unprotected surface of the tree, giving it the familiar silvery-gray color.
Degradation is accelerated when the surface begins to become covered with fine cracks, allowing moisture to penetrate deep into the wood.
What should the carpenter do? It is best to protect garden furniture from all damaging factors by protecting it from direct sunlight, such as on a covered terrace or gazebo, or by storing it in a shady place against the north wall of the house, or under the canopy of trees when not in use. Such a precaution would be appropriate for the care of small items. garden furniture and other not too heavy products, but not suitable for front doors, gates, gates and large benches.
Large and heavy wooden crafts doomed to remain under the scorching sun, the easiest way is to protect them from ultraviolet radiation by creating an impenetrable sun screen for them - paint them with opaque paint. Paint and opaque (opaque) azure contain enough pigment to provide the wood with opaque protection. Any of these coatings would be a good choice.
When you go outside in bad weather, you put on a waterproof raincoat. Wooden products also require reliable protection against moisture. Any film-forming coating applied to wood from all sides provides moisture protection like a raincoat. But sooner or later, water penetrates under the coating film and causes it to peel off. Therefore, for greater durability, it is better to use elastic compounds with water-repellent (hydrophobic) properties.
Another way, rarely used by today's craftsmen, is the operation of products without any protection at all, that is, they are not coated or impregnated with anything. Many rot-resistant wood species (provided that the products are not in constant contact with water or soil) weather and thin out by only a few millimeters per century. However, without antifungal impregnation, the wood will at best become covered with dark spots, and at worst with rough peeling scales.
Opaque finish protects from the sun
So, the ideal weatherproof coating for wood should contain antiseptic additives and a significant amount of pigment; reliably prevent the penetration of moisture, while remaining elastic; simple and easy to apply.
Paint and opaque blue (highly diluted paint) are closest to the ideal. Both types of coatings contain so much pigment that the wood under them is inaccessible to sunlight. This explains why wood paneling regularly painted and well maintained houses last for more than a hundred years. Such durability is easy to ensure these days, because modern acrylic latex paints remain sufficiently elastic even after drying, stretching and shrinking again when the wood swells and shrinks.
However, paints and opaque azures cannot be considered the most the best coatings for wood used outdoors. Even if you carefully paint every piece before assembly, water will sooner or later find its way to the wood and begin to accumulate under the coating film, causing it to blister and peel. Puddles and drops on horizontal surfaces accelerate destructive force water. This is one of the reasons why wood decking is not recommended to be painted. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your paints and opaques.
Like the transparent finish? The decision won't be easy
Transparent coatings that allow you to admire the natural color and texture of wood on the decking boards of the gazebo or terrace are divided into two types. Some coatings form a strong film on the tree, others are absorbed into its surface.
Transparent film-forming coatings such as nitro lacquer, polyurethane or epoxy resin, do not contain light-blocking pigments in their composition, allowing destructive ultraviolet rays to freely penetrate and act on the surface of the wood. Soon, the surface layer of damaged wood cells begins to peel off along with the coating, on which cracks and peeling flakes appear (photo B). For repairs, the surface will need to be sanded down to bare wood and re-coated.
Clear film-forming coatings last longer when not exposed to moisture and direct sunlight. For example, the front door on the north side of the house, covered with several layers polyurethane varnish, will keep a fresh look for a long time (especially if you additionally protect it with a storm door or shutters), as it will become inaccessible to rain and sun.
Oil coatings, translucent oil-based glazes and water repellents are absorbed into the wood (without forming a film on its surface) and do not crack when the wood inevitably swells and shrinks. Unlike film-forming formulations, absorbent coatings are easy to renew. Just rinse the surface detergent dry and apply a new coat. However, compositions that do not contain pigments (or with a low content of them) practically do not protect wood from ultraviolet radiation, therefore products coated with them suffer from the sun.
Some oil coatings look transparent, but contain special light-blocking pigments of the finest grinding. Particles of these substances at their sufficient concentration effectively protect the tree from ultraviolet irradiation. How do you know if an oil coating contains these pigments? Look on the jar for transoxide pigments in the ingredient list.
Translucent oil-based glazes are relatively inexpensive, but still combine best properties paints and penetrating oils. They contain a certain amount of coarse pigment, partially protecting the wood from the action of ultraviolet radiation. And since they don't form a surface film, you don't have to sand away the peeling coating for a long time and tediously when updating it.
To achieve the best results when choosing between film-forming and penetrating coatings, keep the following in mind:
How to protect wood from many external influences? Here is a list of products that provide protective and often complex properties against various destructive factors for wooden materials and products for interior and exterior use.
Wood protection: paints, glazes, anti-rot, moisture, UV. How to choose?
We appreciate this material for its beauty and strength, for its ease of processing and ability to retain its shape, for its durability and maintainability. It is the tree that is one of the oldest companions of man. It was a widespread means for building his dwellings and gave him warmth and light, and also served as material for the construction of boats and ships, on which he crossed rivers, seas and oceans and explored his planet. Even the first airplanes that gave man wings were largely made of wood. But he also has weaknesses, there are enemies.
Wood is hygroscopic, i.e. may absorb or release moisture depending on environmental conditions. Depending on the range of humidity and ambient temperature, for different breeds wood in different ways, this can lead to reversible or irreversible deformations of materials and wood products. Exposure to moisture and bacterial and fungal infections can cause wood decay and disease, especially when exposed directly to wood building materials.
Wood is subject to mechanical wear, which especially affects the durability of wood flooring. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause the wood to fade or discolour. Insect pests are not averse to eating wood, destroying it.
The most serious tests fall on wood flooring, both at the stage when it is still a material, and when it is finished floors, and the life of their many owners passes on them. At the material stage, protection during storage and transportation for parquet, solid board, parquet multilayer board and a number of other wood products is only competent packaging, if their production does not provide for the application of pre-finish protective coatings. The situation is more complicated in the operation of mounted floors. Protective lacquer, oil or oil-wax coatings drastically reduce the effect of moisture on the wood, while the lacquer coating and, to a certain extent, the oil / hard wax coating, also create a layer that protects the wood from mechanical stress. The purpose of providing waterproofing is also the sealant, which is placed in the wall groove and protects the end of the parquet "pie" from moisture. Another category with a difficult fate is materials for exterior use, including flooring such as decking and garden paths.
Over the centuries of development of crafts and science, people have learned to protect wood by creating protective coatings on its surface, impregnating it with waterproofing and antiseptic compounds, eliminating abrasive surface contamination, developing technologies for its hardening and heat treatment if necessary. By preserving the natural structure of wood and its natural beauty and not making it completely resistant to fire, experts have learned to significantly delay the moment of its ignition, even when exposed to direct fire. And all this has created a whole chemical industry - parquet chemistry and, in a broader sense, the chemistry of protective coatings for wood materials. Research and production companies specializing in this area develop and manufacture a different range of protective equipment for traditional building materials. Some of them have dozens of different products in their arsenal of protective equipment, successfully used in construction and industrial practice. Among them, we can mention a number of manufacturers from Germany, Italy, France and other countries, but SAICOS and Berger-Seidle from Germany have achieved especially great success in the role of wood protector. As an example, let's focus on SAICOS products.
Its products are successfully used not only for different kind construction and finishing works, but also in the conditions of production of building materials from wood, where pre-finish coatings of these materials are created, which later arrive at the installation sites already in a form protected from most influences. SAICOS products use natural vegetable oils And natural waxes and includes paints, protective coatings and their application systems for all types of wood, wood materials and all types of surface treatment, as well as care products for treated surfaces. SAICOS distinguishes itself from others, first of all, by its innovative nature of activity and high research and production potential, which make it possible to produce universal environmentally friendly products intended for a wide range of consumers.
These include not only those who work with floor coverings, but also manufacturers of wooden design elements - furniture, wall panels, doors, coffered ceilings, stairs, as well as builders who are faced with the task of using protective coatings for wooden facades of buildings, terraced boards, garden furniture and arbors, in general, wooden components of structures and structures. And all this is enough difficult conditions, including climatic influences and UV radiation.
In its practice, the VERNISSAGE company uses and offers its customers and customers a range of approximately 22 types of products from this manufacturer only for wood protection, not to mention products for complex or other purposes. The following is a list of the company's products that provide protective and often complex properties against various destructive factors for wooden materials and products for interior and exterior use.

Toning pigments with high UV resistance ensure the beauty of the wood surface for a long time.
Wood fibers crushed under pressure form a dent under the heel with a depth of 0.1-0.2 mm. Under appropriate lighting, when viewed from above, such an inconspicuous pit is characteristic of both oak with a hardness of 3.7-3.9 according to Brinell, and, for example, olive with a hardness of 6. At the same time, both of these wood species belong to the category of hardwood. That is why, with regular (once every 5-7 years) regrinding and re-varnishing of the wood of the floor, the craftsmen grind off 0.3-0.4 mm of the surface, removing traces of the invasion of "studs" and preparing " Blank sheet”, which celebrates the next generations of fashionistas.
Traces of heels of fashionistas of the second half of the twentieth century. can be observed even in the St. George's Hall of the Kremlin. They are somewhat larger in area (then the shoemakers had not yet reached the level of the wasp sting standard), but they are still noticeable as small square recesses on the floors of this official hall, where there were women deputies and wives of diplomats.
You can cite the opinion of the most authoritative parquet portal (USA), which is repeated many times on different parquet sites, including domestic ones. In the section "What not to expect from a wood floor with a protective coating" states: "Despite the term " hardwood» The oak floor will dent under high stiletto heels (especially if the heels are faulty). Protective covering floor will not protect against dents. In this case, oak is just a common example of a breed with high operational properties. Well, well, we must agree that the funds for this type of "pests" of parquet have not yet been created. It remains to believe only in the limitless possibilities of science.
Read all the advice of professionals. We sincerely want to help you in choosing parquet and the most suitable materials for all stages of parquet work.
Wood has been used as a building material for over a hundred years. It is she who is preferred to be used for the construction of baths, houses, cottages. It is the most environmentally friendly, safe and warm material with low thermal conductivity. And also in wood, the aesthetically attractive appearance. Therefore, it is often used as decorative element for the implementation of outdoor and interior decoration log house. But the service life of a wooden material can be reduced due to atmospheric influence on it. After all, moisture, insects, precipitation, wind, sunlight, fungus and fire are dangerous for the strength and other characteristics of wood. And in order to prolong the service life of this building material, it is necessary to provide him with reliable and timely protection.
The main causes of the destruction of wood according to scientific developments
Wood is alive natural material containing a certain percentage of moisture. The amount of moisture varies depending on the ambient temperature, air humidity and other weather conditions. Water has a strong influence on the structure of wood: on a cloudy, rainy day, it swells, and on the contrary, it dries out in summer. From these constant changes, the strength of the structure suffers greatly. Therefore, wood must be protected from moisture.

Saving wooden material from water, it is not necessary to finish (cover) it with a film, oilcloth. After all, wood must breathe and a violation of air exchange will lead to the formation of an even more serious problem - damage to the wooden material by fungus or mold. And they, in turn, will provoke the development of putrefactive processes, which will lead in the near future to the complete destruction of the entire structure.

How to deal with atmospheric influence on wood material
The condition of wood directly depends on the natural conditions in which it is located. From ultraviolet, moisture, the structure of wood is destroyed, its shade and density change. Biological agents and insects destroy the strength characteristics of the material. Wood for carpenter beetles is both food and shelter. They, being in the structure of the tree, destroy its strength, making many holes (moves) in it. Precipitation, temperature changes lead to rotting of wood. The first signs of the appearance of putrefactive processes in a wooden material are the formation of fungi and mold on its surface.
To ensure the wood is properly and reliable protection must be periodically treated with protective compounds. Best of all, antiseptic agents cope with the appearance of microorganisms, insects. And to prevent the penetration of moisture into the wood structure, film-forming, water-repellent compounds should be used: varnishes, paints, etc.
In the modern construction market there are a large number of complex tools. They perform a protective function, thanks to the fungicides included in the composition and decorative.
Opinions of experts on the protection of wood from biological agents
Will help protect wood from biological agents and various insects Yaroslavl decorative antiseptic PREMIA. This tool has a large number of positive reviews among developers and builders. It is intended to ensure the protection of wood from atmospheric phenomena and biological contamination for 7 years, as well as for decorative finishing. It also prevents the influence of sunlight on the wooden material, delaying ultraviolet radiation in the outer layer. The PREMIA decorative antiseptic can be used both inside and outside the premises.
It has an environmentally friendly composition, with a minimum content of solvents. It includes highly effective fungicides that protect wood from blue stain, fungus, mold, woodworms. And they are also able to eliminate the already begun damage to the material by biological agents.
This tool is able to improve the decorative characteristics of the wooden material, giving it a shade of any type of wood after application, thanks to the alkyd varnish and pigments included in the composition. Antiseptic PREMIA emphasizes the structure of wood, uniformly tones it. This composition is easy to apply, well absorbed into the structure of the material and dries quickly (after 24 hours after application). After processing, a breathable coating is formed on the surface of the wooden material, through which you can see the pattern of the unique wood structure.
One of the best decorative antiseptics at the same time, intended for processing log cabins of houses, baths and other wooden structures, is decorative Bystrolak from the Yaroslavl Paints company. The basis of its safe and economical composition is alkyd varnish, pigments, fungicides. It can be used both for carrying out work outside (painting benches, fences, window frames etc.), and indoors (applied to doors, walls, furniture).
The resulting layer of varnish dries very quickly, at an air temperature of +20 it may take only 5 hours. Bystrolak is resistant to the negative effects of atmospheric phenomena. He is not afraid of the sun's rays, precipitation, temperature changes. After applying Bystrolak, the surface of the wood acquires a beautiful, glossy sheen. And the structure of the material under the resulting layer is not hidden, but emphasized and stands out favorably. There are 9 shades in the palette of this tool that imitate various types of wood (ash, rosewood, golden oak, walnut, pine, Oregon, mahogany, teak, mountain ash).
Protective decorative compositions for finish coat and ensure protection wooden structure there are many resources. But all of them are either high cost or low quality. In terms of quality and price, I consider Neomid Biocolor Ultra to be the best. This domestic company has been tested for years, consumers appreciate the funds for their environmental friendliness and efficiency.
Biocolor Ultra is made on an alkyd basis. It provides wooden material reliable protection against atmospheric phenomena, cracking, formation of mold, rot, insects. It contains microwax, which provides elasticity to the resulting coating and additional water-resistant characteristics. This decorative agent also protects wood from sunlight, prevents its fading, due to the presence of a UV filter in the composition.
Biocolor Ultra can be used indoors and outdoors. It does not affect the structure of wood, only emphasizes its beauty. It is easily applied on a wooden surface, a semi-gloss, translucent layer is formed. The color palette of the decorative composition consists of 9 shades, including colorless. But it can be tinted with special pastes.
