Wood saturators are essential products for protecting and enhancing outdoor wood. They are necessary for preserving the wood’s aesthetic and functional longevity. This article explores the best practices for their application and use.
Applying a varnish or stain protects the wood by creating a protective surface layer. A saturator, however, works differently; it penetrates deeply into the wood fibers to nourish and protect the wood from within. This makes saturators particularly effective for safeguarding wood exposed to outdoor conditions. Given the impact of weather variations, such as UV rays or moisture, using a saturator is essential for the long-term preservation of wood surfaces.
Wood saturators help to prevent damage caused by weather conditions such as:
UV rays. Some wood surfaces tend to become gray when exposed to sunlight. Besides the cosmetic damage from graying, cracks and deformations can also occur.
Moisture. Often caused by rain, moisture is another factor that can alter the mechanical properties of wood. It increases the wood’s permeability, making it more susceptible to attacks by fungi and wood-eating insects (xylophagous insects).
Applying a wood saturator provides long-lasting protection for outdoor wood’s appearance and mechanical properties.
Wood saturators are ideal for wooden surfaces that need deep protection from weather-related damage, such as:
