WOOD: A LIVING MATERIAL
Wood is a natural product, the fissures visible on
the edges of the wood are completely normal and
do not modify the resistance characteristics of
the same.
Wood is always a malleable material (f rom 3% to
4% of dimensional variations) with humidity and
temperature oscillations. Therefore, small cracks
can appear and in order to limit later deformations,
the technical criteria have been respected regarding
the design, the choice of sections, and of packaging
and the fixing methods.
Knots are natural elements of wood: their aspect
and their size vary f rom one product to another.

Mould can appear on the surface of wood, although
not penetrating into it and not degrading it. After
being treated with UV radiation, wood turns greyish
with time without this affecting its durability.
Varnish can be applied to wood treated in autoclave.
In addition to protection, varnish contributes to the
beauty and long-life of wood. In this case¡, wait for
the wood to completely dry before applying the
varnish.
The secretion of resin is a natural phenomenon of
resinous wood. Just as no tree is like another tree,
the following photographed elements cannot be
considered as defects:
