Home LA VERNICIATURA DEL LEGNO Il restauro del mobile PRODOTTI Azienda CONTATTACI RINNOVARE E PROTEGGERE IL LEGNO ESPOSTO ALL'ESTERNO Porte, finestre, persiane, gazebo, rivestimenti ed in genere tutti i manufatti e le strutture di legno da esterno, necessitano un trattamento specifico ed una manutenzione periodica per mantenere nel tempo la loro bellezza naturale. Gli impregnanti e le vernici per esterno, sono prodotti appositamente formulati per decorare, proteggere, conservare e rendere più bello il legno che, posto all’esterno, è continuamente sottoposto a diversi fenomeni che possono rovinarlo con estrema facilità: l’esposizione diretta ai raggi ultravioletti ed alle intemperie, i continui sbalzi di temperatura ed umidità, l’attacco di funghi, muffe e parassiti sono la causa del degrado del legno. Per evitare che il legno si degradi per l’azione di questi fenomeni, è sufficiente assicurare al legno stesso la giusta protezione, applicando un protettivo che possa annullare tutti gli effetti negativi degli agenti esterni dannosi per il legno. Qui di seguito sono elencati i consigli per rispondere alle più comuni problematiche che si possono affrontare nel trattamento del legno per esterno. LA MANUTENZIONE FACILE Legno con il colore uniforme, ma con la superficie spenta e/o sbiadita Le porte, le finestre e le persiane che sono esposte al sole ed all’aggressione delle intemperie, con il passare del tempo perdono l’aspetto originale e diventano opache, perché il trattamento di verniciatura originale che protegge il legno è destinato a consumarsi e quindi, quando l’intensità del colore del legno comincia a spegnersi bisogna intervenire per riportare la giusta protezione superficiale. It is sufficient to apply Tornabello or Rinnova Serramenti 1 or 2 times a year, to regain the original splendor of the windows. Tornabello and Rinnova Serramenti are easy-to-apply products (they are applied with a cloth) which bring back to the deteriorated support all that is needed to obtain a surface revived in color, soft to the touch and water-repellent. Tornabello makes the surface shiny. It is suitable for reviving and protecting all degraded surfaces: painted wood, enameled iron, plastic shutters and painted aluminum frames. Renew Windows contains wax and therefore makes the surface satin (original appearance of the windows). It is particularly suitable for the treatment of wooden windows. Tornabello and Rinnova Serramenti have a straw-yellow color and therefore application on white surfaces is not recommended. SURFACE MAINTENANCE Wood with a uniform color, but with a degraded surface When the surface appears degraded, but the wood still shows a uniform color, it is possible to intervene with a simple maintenance treatment to avoid deterioration and a demanding restoration work. Sand with 180 grit sandpaper and remove all residues of the old paint. Dust and clean the wood with white spirit. If white spirit penetrates the wood and revives the color of the surface, it means that the wood needs the application of an impregnating agent. Then apply as many coats of impregnation as the wood itself absorbs. When the surface appears shiny, it means that the wood is saturated with impregnating agent and thus the maximum protection of the wood has been obtained. If you prefer a wood with a waxed / satin look, apply a coat of waxed impregnate or satin / waxed varnish. Since, in this case, the wood still has a uniform color, this treatment is carried out with products in the transparent color version. If, on the other hand, the color of the wet surface does not revive because the wood has not absorbed the white spirit used to clean the surface after sanding, it is sufficient to apply a coat of primer or transparent varnish to renew the aesthetic effect of the degraded surface. THE RESTORATION OF THE SURFACE Damaged surface, loss of color and blackened wood When a wood is in an advanced state of decay (i.e. when the surface is of different colors because the old paint treatment has now worn out), it is necessary to proceed with a treatment that includes several processing steps: Apply the Grinto Gel paint remover and remove all the residues of the old paint. Thoroughly clean the surface with white spirit or thinner. When applying the solvent to clean the surface, the wood must brighten evenly (the wet effect must appear). If the wet effect does not appear evenly over the entire surface, it means that there are still residues of the old paint on the stripped wood that must be removed; It is important that the wood can evenly absorb the new paint treatment, because leaving any residues of the old paint means finding aesthetic defects on the surface after painting. If there are residues of mold left (blackened wood), clean the wood with the wood cleaner Legno Libero . If there are holes, cracks or missing parts of the product, repair the defect with a wood filler ( Tap Filler or Stuccolegno ). The Free Wood Cleaner removes the mold that makes the wood gray and therefore allows you to find a surface with the original color of the wood (an important aspect for obtaining an excellent final aesthetic result).
