More and more wood? it is often rediscovered in the 26-rsquo; residential building to embellish the interior and exterior facades. Think of the exposed beams of the porches or attics that came back in vogue after decades of oblivion to which are added fences, doors, shelves and the innumerable artifacts created by “ DIY&rdquo ;. From what? l&rsquo is born, need for solutions aimed at preserving the wood from the 26-rsquo; wear of the time and, when it begins to deteriorate, to restore l’ original appearance. The possible causes of deterioration are to be found in the 26-rsquo; absorption d’ water, in’ attack of fungi, insects, solar radiation. Of all this, as well as of course the desired finish, it is taken into account in the preparation of the cycles.
Before starting work, make sure that the wood is seasoned, dry and, if it is applied to the exterior, that the temperature is mild and the day is not damp. Even applications in full sun d’ summer should be avoided. If you want to improve wood preservation, apply XILOTEX in the solvent version by means of a small brush so as to facilitate l’ absorption and leave it to act for 8 hours.
