Impregnation from decay

Signs and causes of rotting

Wood is destroyed by biological organisms such as fungi, insects and many others, they destroy the fiber of the tree and use it as food. Rotting is, in fact, the decay of wood, which leads to negative consequences for buildings.

Initially, on the tree you can observe bright spots, then - looseness, cracks and cavities - this is the process of corrosion.

We consider several obvious signs of tree destruction:

• The color of
• changes.
• cracks appear.
• loses its strength.

structure is destroyed. If the tree is damaged during decay, the strength becomes lower 10-40 times, which, of course, becomes a problem, andmost importantly, carries a serious danger.

Protection of wood from rotting

Protection of wood from decay is a system of measures that increase its resistance to bioorganisms. Of course, different types of wood have their own natural stability, but it is usually not enough, so we resort to additional processing.

There are many ways to protect wood from decay, here are just a few of them: chemical treatment, antiseptic and moisture protection coatings, sterilization and complex effects.

Constructional protection methods

Under this complex phrase we mean the protection of wooden structures from rotting with the help of additional materials such as, for example, waterproofing materials. It is important to comply with the main rules, when using this method: to build from dry wood in a period of low humidity, to correctly adjust the air exchange, to make a high-quality roof made of waterproof materials.

Also, structural methods include applying to the wood protective, for example, paint and varnish products. This treatment not only protects the tree from external influences, but also carries a decorative function.

But, as we all understand, this method is very difficult to manage.

Antiseptic treatment

There are many antiseptics on the building materials market for the treatment of wooden surfaces. These are all kinds of pastes, primers, solutions and many other compounds.

Such processing by professional means will give confidence that the rotting process is postponed, if not forever, then for several years ahead. To choose an aniseptic it is worth to approach very responsibly, because after the construction of the house it will be difficult to process many pieces of wood, and to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is necessary to take care of this in advance, unless, of course, you are building a one-season shed.

Comprehensive impact of

If you really care about the quality of the construction work, approach the protection of the woods in a comprehensive manner. Many manufacturers now produce quality compounds that carry antiseptic, fireproof, decorative and other functions simultaneously. Such construction mixtures will help you in solving a whole range of tasks that are facing you, though they will devastate your wallet a little.

The choice of complex preparations for wood processing is very wide. When choosing mixtures with the highest price and quality, remember that the stronger the impact on wood, the more toxic and dangerous the mixture for a person at the stage of its use. Carefully read the instructions and reviews about the drug, consult professionals in this area, otherwise you risk not only to stay without a good home, but also without health.

Any job should be trusted by professionals, but, as they say: "Trust, but check!" - therefore: do not depart from the construction process far, actively participate in the selection of building materials, check the quality of work at each stage, adhere to our advice and your knowledge. Successful construction!
