Wood is one of the oldest materials used by humans. It is a natural and fully renewable raw material.
Its durability, the possibility of versatile processing, and its natural and unique appearance make it one of the most commonly used raw materials.
Wood blends well with other materials, which is why it is suitable for an apartment or garden in almost any style. Users also value it for its high durability – properly protected, it can serve for years.
Its aroma has a positive effect on humans – the scent of spruce improves memory function and reduces the feeling of fatigue.
However, it should be remembered that wood:
Cracks
The effect of atmospheric conditions, the repeated cycle of moisture and drying of wood fiber is the formation of longitudinal scratches.
Such scratches, which do not cut through the fibers, but only run parallel to them, do not affect the stability and durability.
Even the most careful selection of the wood raw material used cannot prevent this type of process.
Changes color
Sunlight causes wood to turn gray. This is a completely natural process, regardless of the type or price of wood. It is not a process that should be foug
However, if we want to restore the natural color of wood, the first step will always be to thoroughly remove the top layer of grayed wood, which can be done using chemicals or mechanically.
The next step should be wood preservation – regularly (at least once a year) it is recommended to rub the wooden
parts of the frame with a wood protection agent.
Works
Wood as a natural material changes its volume depending on humidity – it swells or shrinks.
Parts of the wooden structure may reduce their dimensions. So always check before use whether the screws connecting the elements of the structure are working properly. If there is any play, the screws should be tightened.
