The main advantage of a glaze antiseptic is that it allows not only to increase the service life, but also to preserve the original structure of the tree. In some cases, this is a key requirement, as the surface of the wood can be very beautiful.
general description
Glazing itself is a procedure that involves treating a wood surface. However, the difference is that compositions are used here that can not only increase its service life, but also give it a shine and also shade. In addition, they are able to muffle the texture of the processed surface, if necessary. Among home masters and other people using such compounds, they are most often called glaze paints. These compounds can lead to such improvements as:
- Conducting glazing of the house outside will help to protect it from various negative atmospheric influences.
- Glazing antiseptics are also able to protect the structure from the adverse effects of ultraviolet rays. In addition, they can significantly help in protecting against sudden changes in temperature.
- And, of course, like any other antiseptic, they protect the coating from fungi, mold, etc.
Composition difference
Glaze antiseptics can be used not only for internal, but also for external work. Since there can be various negative influences outside, it is worth noting several special properties that the composition should have.
- Firstly, the composition of the glaze antiseptic, as well as the paint, is different for internal and external works. Because of what, the properties differ.
- Secondly, the main difference between external and internal compositions is the property of moisture resistance.
- The third important property is the resistance to temperature extremes for external compounds.
- In addition, since the use will be on the street, it is necessary that the composition is frost-resistant.
Compositions for internal work
In any case, glaze antiseptics for outdoor work can not be used for work inside the house, since they are not environmentally friendly, and it is completely forbidden to use them in children's rooms or bedrooms. The structure of substances that can be used for internal work is environmentally friendly, and also has no unpleasant odor. As for the properties of antiseptics for wood and paints, they are as follows:
- They are resistant to moisture and also to ultraviolet.
- It is especially convenient that dust sits on the finish of such substances, and various dirt accumulates less.
- There are no smudges left after work.
- It is very important that over time the composition will not fade.
- They dry out quite quickly.
It is worth noting that the antiseptics for this type of tree do an excellent job not only with fungus, mold, etc., but also effectively resist microbial pests and small insects.
The composition of the antiseptic and its types
Among the chemicals that make up the wood preservative, alkyd and modified resins can be distinguished. A variety of oils are also added, with which it is possible to achieve maximum effect on wood. Lesser antiseptics for wood today are of two types.
The first type is a diluted antiseptic. These substances are characterized in that their aqueous or organic composition is manufactured with improved environmental standards.
The second type is the degree of gloss. This category includes matte and semi-gloss compositions. The satin class antiseptics can be attributed to the same category. A distinctive property of opaque antiseptics is that after application to the surface they are completely absorbed.
It is worth adding that for the most effective use of such formulations, you need to know how to use them correctly. For example, to get the maximum effect, it is worth applying the substance immediately after building the house. Also, the compositions are applied as thin as possible so that smudges do not form. If you need to create a denser layer, you will have to apply it several times.
Lessing antiseptic "Tikkurila"
Use of antiseptics of this company is necessary according to the following principle.
A beam, log or any other wood product is first cleaned of dirt and fungus. If the log is new, then this stage, of course, is skipped. The next step is the application of a primer. To do this, you can use a substance called "Vallti Pohuste". The properties of an antiseptic will perfectly protect wood from fungus and insects. However, this drug is not able to protect against ultraviolet radiation, and therefore the application of the finish layer will be required. Here it is worth paying attention to the different products of the Tikkurila line, as they have different properties. some formulations leave an air-permeable layer, some create an integral protective film, etc.
Lessing antiseptic FORWOOD
Before applying these formulations, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. The antiseptic is thoroughly mixed. If there is such a need, then you can dilute with water, but add no more than 5% of the liquid of the total mass. The surface to be treated must not only be dry and clean, but also cleaned of other compounds, if any were applied earlier. The difference from the previous line is that there is no need for a preliminary primer of the surface. When applying the material, it must be rubbed with effort so that all possible wood pores and microcracks are filled with the composition.
