Home - Issues and Solutions - Indoor Solutions - How to protect and decorate wooden artifacts
Wood is increasingly being rediscovered in residential construction to enhance interiors and exteriors.
Think of exposed beams in porticos or attics, which have regained popularity after decades of neglect, as well as fences, doors, shelves, and the numerous pieces created by DIY enthusiasts.
From this arises the need for targeted solutions to preserve wood from the wear and tear of time and, when it begins to deteriorate, to restore its original appearance.
Possible causes of deterioration are water absorption, fungal and insect attacks, and solar radiation.
All of these factors, as well as the desired finish, are taken into account in the preparation of treatment cycles.
