Care instructions for articles made of:
- Solid structural timber, softwood and
laminated wood, untreated
The wooden parts of the kit are untreated,
so a regular protective coating is
absolutely essential.
Recommendation:
An initial coat on all sides with a wood
primer (protection against fungi and
insects), and then one coat each of
intermediate and top coat with a highquality
wood-preserving varnish (colour
tones, UV protection, protection against
weathering).
The following applies to wood panel
cabins:
The initial and intermediate coats must be
applied prior to assembly. Please ensure
that the wood panels have dried prior to
construction. The top coat is applied
after construction. Regular varnishing is
necessary to maintain the wood. Make
sure the products are given good UV
protection and that the working guidelines
of the varnish manufacturer are observed.
Recommendation:
If the wood stain is to be fixed, we
recommend an initial coat on all sides
with a wood primer (protection against
fungi and insects), and then one coat
each of intermediate and top coat with
a high-quality wood preserving varnish
(colour tones, UV protection, protection
against weathering). Regular varnishing
is necessary to maintain the wood. Make
sure the products are given good UV
protection and that the working guidelines
of the varnish manufacturer are observed.
- Softwood, impregnated
The wood has already received an initial
immersion treatment with a water-based
impregnation. This protects the wood
against fungal and insect infestation.
Recommendation:
The surface should be treated again after
2–3 sunny months at the earliest and
should feel dry. Clean the surface before
treating. We then recommend one coat
each of intermediate and top coat with a
high-quality wood preserving varnish.
Regular varnishing is necessary to
maintain the wood.
Make sure the products are given good
UV protection and that the working
guidelines of the varnish manufacturer are
observed.
Special care instructions for colour-treated
products
The colour-treated parts of our kits are
treated with high-quality varnish.
In the area where it is applied this has the
following properties:
- protection against blue stain fungi
- protection against damage caused by
UV radiation
- no flaking
- reduces swelling and shrinking
- lets the wood grain shine through
- thin layer
Information on construction:
- Each colour-treated kit comes with a
container of varnish for repairs. Please stir
thoroughly before use.
- Untreated cut edges must be treated
twice with this varnish prior to assembling
the building element.
- All screw holes or other damage to
the wood surface of colour-treated
parts caused by assembly must also be
treated at least twice with varnish during
construction.
