The decoration of wooden surfaces has a certain specificity. When decorating wooden structures, it is necessary to be able to ensure their protection against many factors, and at the same time preserve the aesthetic type of wood. Factors harmful to wood are understood as harmful organisms – rogue beetles, mold, fungus. In addition to flora and fauna, dampness, excessive dryness of air, ultraviolet radiation and the like can be harmful into wood.
Therefore, when processing building materials from wood, work should have a comprehensive nature, and provide maximum protection against all possible harmful factors.
In relation to the processing of paintwork materials. If you are going to use the paintwork of domestic production, then before applying the coating you will need to carry out the following preparatory work: firstly, it is necessary to degrease the surface of the wood. In the event that the paint or varnish is not applied for the first time, first it is necessary to completely remove the rest of the last time from the last time. If the surface of the wood at one time was not carefully processed and there are cracks and bumps on it, then it is necessary to eliminate them – the cracks and cavities are thrown and the tubercles are removed. After the surface of the wood is put into proper state, you can proceed to the direct painting of the surface. After the end of the painting, the surface must be completely, thoroughly dried.
If we are talking about the use of imported paints and varnishes, then in this case everything will be much easier. It is necessary to completely remove the layer of old paint only if for painting you are going to use materials that have a different basis. Otherwise, you can paint directly on top of the old paint. All these recommendations applies to the case if you have fireproof paint at your disposal.
Surface cleaning before applying paint can be done in several different ways. The surface can be cleaned mechanically, using a metal brush or ordinary sandpaper, or chemically, processing the surface with special compounds. After that, it is already possible to perform decorative processing, forgetting to apply fire -retardant materials, because firewood is a rather dangerous material. The use of special paints as fire retardant materials is a great way to save time and means. Similar colors are capable of both in combination with fire -retardant impregnations, and independently provide reliable protection of wooden structures from exposure to fire and high temperatures that occur during a fire. This is achieved by the formation of a swelling protective surface of a large thickness that has a porous structure, and therefore a low thermal conductivity coefficient.
