Scientific ways to protect your wooden surfaces from sun UV rays, moisture, and pests. Renga Plus wood protection systems.
Wood is a living organism; it continues to breathe, expand, and interact with its environment even after being cut. Leaving it unprotected causes it to turn gray (UV burn), rot (fungus), and lose its form.
Enemies of Wood
1. **UV Radiation:** Sunlight breaks down the "lignin" (natural glue) inside the wood. The surface becomes fibrous and turns gray.
2. **Moisture:** Water causes wood to swell and crack when dry. It also prepares an environment for fungus and mold.
3. **Biological Pests:** Woodworms and termites.
Protection Shield: Varnish or Oil?
- **Water-Based Exterior Varnishes:** Renga Plus Aqua-Wood series moves with the wood thanks to its flexible structure, does not crack. Blocks the harmful effects of the sun thanks to UV filters.
- **Impregnation Primer:** A chemical solution applied before varnish, penetrating the pores of the wood, protecting it from the inside, preventing fungus and insects.
- **Teak Oil:** Natural care that nourishes the wood without creating a film layer for exotic trees (Teak, Iroko). Recommended to be applied twice a year.
