Colour treatments
Spray impregnation (pre-treatment)
With spray impregnation, all interior and exterior surfaces are pre-treated with an impregnating agent (primer).
You can choose from four different transparent colours or colourless.
Benefits
• The inside of your log cabin and the parts that are no longer accessible after assembly are protected and you do not need to stain them in the future. • With this treatment, your cabin is already provided with a primer. • Your log cabin is immediately protected against mould and decay processes after assembly.
Choose from five colours, and you can choose multiple colours: Windows/doors: 1 colour Walls/roof: 1 colour Floor: 1 colour
So in total, you can choose a maximum of three colours per cabin.
Colourless
Oak brown White
Graphite grey Light grey
Advice! Your cabin will need to be stained on the outside within 12 months. Within 6 months if white, and as soon as possible if colourless.
All products are deliverd untreated as standard
Pressure impregnation (low maintenance)
The wood is placed in a large boiler, filled with impregnating agent, and is vacuum drawn. This causes the impregnating agent to be pressed into the wood.If your log cabin is not easily accessible on one or more sides, we recommend having your log cabin pressure impregnated.
Brown
Pressure impregnated wood is low maintenance and will keep for at least 10 years in all weather conditions. The wood will eventually start turning grey. However you can counteract the greying as well as the ageing and weathering process with, for example, a wood oil. This will stop the weathering process so that it can last up to 30 years. Good to know: • This treatment method has a longer delivery time (+ 1 week) due to the drying process. • During assembly, it may be more difficult for the parts to slide into each other because the wood is still somewhat swollen • It takes about six weeks after assembly before (most off) the moisture is extracted from the wood. Also, dryness and/or shrinkage cracks may occur in the wood • Windows and doors are not pressure impregnated, but you can order them sprayed or stained. • The roof boarding is also impregnated
Staining - Extra protection
With our staining treatment your log cabin is protected for approximately 2-4 years (Depending on exposure to weathering). The staining treatment for windows/doors is available for both ranges. Staining the walls is only available for our Woodpro Modern range.
Windows and doors • The windows and doors are treated on all sides in three layers (primer, intermediate treatment and stain).
Only possible in our modern line: • Your log cabin will be treated by us with our quality products from Italy. You can select several colours per log cabin: • Windows and doors - 1 colour • Walls - 1 colour • Posts & Fascia boards - 1 colour
• Posts are always pre-treated colourless on all sides and stained in colour. The walls and fasica boards are pre-treated colourless on both sides and stained in colour on the outside.
