Process the log house from the outside. Treatment of wooden walls with protective compounds

A wooden house is an environmentally friendly and safe housing, and will always be popular. Compared to other building materials, natural wood does not emit toxic hazardous substances, promotes a rapid exchange of oxygen in the room and simply has a pleasant forest aroma. There is always fresh air in a wooden house, it is warm in winter, and cool in hot summer days, a comfortable environment and a cozy atmosphere will delight you for many years.

The ease of assembling the elements made at the factory from Logs or profiled timber significantly reduces the installation time. Due to the relatively small weight of the walls of a wooden house, a deep expensive foundation is not required. And also, thanks to the beauty and unique patterns of wood, given to us by nature, the aesthetics of materials will not require serious and expensive finishing.

TREATMENT OF A WOODEN HOUSE OUTSIDE: SELECTION OF MEANS AND STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

However, despite all the positive features, wooden houses have a minus. Wood as a natural material is exposed to negative environmental influences. The sun's rays (ultraviolet), moisture in the form of precipitation, insects lead to the fact that the material can gradually darken and collapse. It may also appear mold, cracks and fungus, and the structure may subsequently lose its original appearance. But in the modern world, these problems can be avoided, due to the necessary processing of the log house inside and out with the help of various means.

WHY YOU NEED TO TREAT YOUR WOODEN HOUSE OUTSIDE

• Protects wood from destruction;
• For a long time it retains the original appearance of a bathhouse or a house made of logs or profiled timber;
• Prevents the appearance of fungus and rot;
• Interferes with influence of insects and moisture;
• Increases the service life of a wooden house or bath;
• Improves the aesthetic qualities of logs, if necessary, you can change the appearance of the facade, get the desired color, shade or shine;
• Fire retardant treatment is a must for a log home, as fire is a significant threat to timber.

HOW TO CHOOSE PRODUCTS FOR PROCESSING

Today, the market offers a lot of different tools for processing wooden houses, both outside and inside. It is very important that the products you choose for processing are environmentally friendly and preserve the natural properties of wood. Also, the products must perform the protective functions of the tree from moisture, insects and other negative factors. Decorative properties are also of great importance. There are four main groups of funds that will be needed to process the house from the outside:

1. Antiseptics are deeply absorbed into the wood, increasing the resistance of wood to moisture and microbes. Among antiseptic agents, wax, protective varnish and oils are distinguished. They destroy mold and blue.
2. Flame retardants prevent the spread of fire. At elevated temperatures, the composition of this agent comes out and forms a protective film on the surface of the wood. This agent prevents instant ignition and resists open fire for several hours.
3. Preservative solutions and impregnations keep the wood in good condition. Special impregnating materials preserve the smoothness and evenness of the wood surface and prevent cracking. And film-forming compositions additionally create a water-repellent barrier, which prevents the wood from absorbing excess moisture and, accordingly, prevents the creation of a humid negative environment in the wood. For these purposes, a primer or wood oils are suitable.
4. Protective and finishing products are more intended for decorating wood, in a word, for creating and maintaining the aesthetic appearance of a house or bath for a long time. These are paints and varnishes for wood. They protect the wooden surface from fading and dirt. There are also special bleaching compounds that will not allow the wood to darken over time.

You should not choose one tool that will immediately protect against mold and rot, insects and fire, while also performing decorative functions. Practice shows that such impregnations are not very effective and will not give the desired result. To achieve a high-quality and durable result, it is better to use flame retardants, antiseptics and decorative paints and varnishes separately, since each of them will give a more significant effect in their intended area.

HOW TO PROPERLY PROCESS A WOODEN HOUSE OUTSIDE

• Immediately after assembling a wooden house or a bath, it is necessary to treat it with antiseptics for the first time inside and out. We recommend paying special attention to the processing of ends and elements in contact with the foundation. Antiseptics must be applied in at least two layers;
• Primary processing cannot be carried out at temperatures below 10-12 degrees!;
• The next processing is done after the complete drying of the log or timber and the complete shrinkage of the log house. It takes 12 - 18 months if the wooden house was made from materials of natural moisture. This finish implies the final complex and multi-layer processing of the house, which will protect the log for a long time. It is also important to apply antiseptics on a dry and clean wood surface!;
• Before processing, additional grinding of the log or timber is necessary to remove the top layer, in which fungus and microbes may have collected during shrinkage. It will remove the defects of the log and level the surface. Sanding wooden walls is a must for an old house, as it is important to completely remove the old coating;

• Processing with a brush will take a lot of time, but it will become the highest quality, most effective and durable. Spray guns are used to speed up the process. But for processing ends, corners and hard-to-reach places, take only a brush;
• First of all, antiseptic agents are applied in two or three layers. After drying, the wood is treated with flame retardants in one or two layers and also left to dry. The next layer is a primer. It will protect the wood from cracking and level the walls;
• Carefully process the ends. These parts of the logs absorb moisture faster than others, and therefore are more prone to rotting. To avoid this, each end processing is done in 4-5 layers;
• The final stage is a decorative coating that will preserve the appearance of the house and protect the surface from sunlight. With the help of colored paints and varnishes, a certain color or shade, matte or glossy shine is achieved. If you want to preserve the natural color of the wood, use transparent paints.

WHAT AND HOW TO COLOR THE LOGO OUTSIDE

Painting is the final stage of processing the log house outside and inside. Today there are many different paints and varnishes. For outdoor painting, choose rough and resistant compounds. Consider the popular types of funds:

• Glazing transparent varnishes will retain color and emphasize the texture of wood, protect the surface from moisture, mold and rot;
• Covering opaque varnishes will help to achieve the desired shine and shade, protect from insects, high humidity and ultraviolet radiation;
• Oil paints penetrate deep into the structure of the log, keep the surface from moisture and dirt. But they dry for a long time (two weeks) and eventually lose color !;
• Acrylic paints and water-based varnishes are natural safe products that provide a dense elastic coating. They protect against moisture, cracking and fungus. Such compositions allow the tree to "breathe", but are expensive;
• Alkyd varnishes form a hard and even surface, retain their color for a long time and provide protection against moisture. However, such products do not allow the wood to "breathe", which eventually causes the log to dry out and crack;
• Yacht varnish is suitable for places with high humidity and heavy rainfall. This is a reliable protection against moisture, which is not affected by the weather and temperature extremes. Such a varnish does not fade and prevents yellowing of wood, however, when painting, it emits an unpleasant odor;
• Stain is an affordable and cheap way to finish a log house inside and out. It protects against fungus and pests, does not disturb the pattern of wood and makes the color more saturated. However, stain requires subsequent varnishing;
• Oils and waxes are eco-friendly, safe products that are deeply absorbed into the wood and protect the logs from moisture and dirt. Wax will give the surface a translucent matte sheen.

To qualitatively paint the log house, wait for the primer to dry completely. Stir thoroughly before painting. First, paint is applied in two or three layers. Before applying each new layer, wait until the previous one is completely dry. For painting, use a roller, for hard-to-reach places, corners and ends - a brush.

When using an airbrush, it is not always possible to achieve an even and smooth coating. In addition, unpainted areas may remain. Apply the last coat of paint in a thin layer from top to bottom.

After complete drying of the paint, varnish is applied in two or three layers. For an even coverage without buildup, let each coat dry, applying the product in long, even strokes. For a decorative coating, you can use only varnish or only paint. However, the use of both means will consolidate the result and enhance the effect, enhance protection and increase the operational life of the wood.

Wood- this is one of the most ancient and stylish building materials, not counting stone and clay. Throughout the history of construction, people have gained vast experience in handling wood, learned its features, and learned how to make it stronger and more durable with the help of protective equipment. The main of these moments is the use of impregnation for wood and its elements.

Wood is a very durable and unique building material that has a huge number of positive qualities and properties that will be appreciated at all times. In houses that are built of wood, it is always necessary to observe natural and more comfortable, as well as heat, and there must always be enough oxygen in the air. The use of special types of wood in the construction will allow you to create a special healing atmosphere throughout the house due to microscopic volatile substances and resins that will have a huge impact on your health.

Independence on the mass of positive advantages, the tree has its drawbacks and disadvantages. If you do not follow the precautions, the wood may deteriorate from the presence of moisture, various and, fire, various insects or rodents. And if in ancient times people used various suitable means to protect, today it will be enough just to treat the whole tree with special impregnation.

You can buy a suitable composition for impregnating wood in any building hypermarket or market. This is a specific composition that is designed to protect the structure of your tree from the destructive and negative effects of the entire environment, any biological factors and fire. The composition of the impregnation, depending on its components and purpose, can be divided into several types. For example, some impregnations are oil-based or water-based and organic-based.

According to their purpose, impregnation is usually divided into the following groups:

• Flame retardants. The main purpose of this group of impregnations is to protect wood from fire or other combustion processes. Such impregnations contain certain components, the melting of which begins with an increase in temperature, while creating a strong film on the surface of the wood. Its essence is to block the access of oxygen to the tree, and without oxygen, as we all know, there will be no ignition. Fire impregnation for wood must be used during the construction and repair of log cabins, as the main guarantee of subsequent safety;

• . Antiseptic impregnations protect wood from decay and decay, as well as other types of biological damage. The composition of this impregnation includes biocides (special potent poisons), they effectively destroy any pathogenic microorganisms, small insects, preventing them from multiplying and multiplying, and at the same time destroying the wood from the inside.

The most common antiseptic impregnations: Aquatex, Cram, Biosept, Tikkurila, Vintol, Biotoneks, Senezh;

• Anti-atmospheric. Such impregnations serve to protect the tree from various negative environmental influences and precipitation. All compositions of this impregnation protect the structure of the tree and from the formation of various cracks, drying out and other deformations. One of the significant disadvantages of such impregnations is that after their processing, the tree loses its aesthetic appearance and worsens its certain characteristics. When protecting the wood from moisture and water, the best option would be to completely impregnate - i.e. bath immersion.

• Water-repellent special impregnation for wood is a solution that increases the strength of the entire material and its high resistance to water, wax is more often used. These compositions significantly extend the life of wooden structures. Such impregnation for wood from moisture and decay is ideal for you when. More common and popular in the Russian construction market are solutions such as Tikkurila.

Quite often, the composition of water-repellent impregnations for wood includes oxides of certain metals, which protect the material from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation, as well as fading and drying out. But also oxides will give the impregnation a certain color. Depending on the metal used, the color varies from light yellow to burgundy, or blue and purple. Therefore, it is possible not only to protect the wood, but also to give it an original and beautiful appearance;

• Combined. Combined impregnations are compounds that protect the tree from various factors, for example, from fire and various bacteria, from water and the formation of harmful fungi. In places where humidity is high and the risk of wood infection is very high, such impregnation is very useful.

Impregnation selection criteria

In order to choose a specific protective solution, consider some of the nuances. For example, if you choose a water-based impregnation, then you will need additional drying of the wood, which will lead to its deformation.

With antiseptic impregnations that are water-based, treat the linings for the runs and the runs themselves, you can also paint partition walls, logs and beams, beams. Thus, it is possible to process elementary lightweight structures that will not deform or bend, and which will not cause much harm and damage.

Oil compositions and wood impregnation oil have an unpleasant, persistent odor that is rather difficult to erode, and therefore it is better not to use these wood impregnations for internal processing of wooden structures. In addition, all oil solutions ignite very quickly, releasing toxins into the air. Once you have treated the wood with oil, it will become impossible to work, paint and process. Therefore, oil impregnations are only suitable for wooden parts and elements that are outdoors and regularly come into contact with water.

Choosing an antiseptic impregnation for wood should be based on a specific type of wood, since various species have varying degrees of resistance to various biological destroyers:

• “weak” tree is aspen, linden, alder;
• weakly resistant tree - oak, birch and beech sapwood, elm kernel and maple;
• medium-resistant tree - fir, spruce, larch, cedar sapwood;
• rot-resistant wood - ash, pine, oak core and larch.

Various types of wood absorb certain protective compounds in different ways, and this should be taken into account when choosing the final impregnation.

Three main groups of wood can be distinguished according to the difficulty of impregnation absorption:

1. difficult - spruce, ash, oak and beech core;
2. medium - linden, pine kernel, alder, aspen, maple sapwood;
3. light - beech, pine sapwood and birch.

The nuances of impregnation at home with your own hands

The price of impregnation for wood will depend on its purpose and composition, but you can save a lot and prepare a simple protective impregnation for. In this case, the impregnation will turn out to be much cheaper than the budget purchase option.

The basis of do-it-yourself impregnation is this.

Impregnation preparation process:

1. Pour bitumen into an unused old metal bucket or container.
2. Put the bucket on the fire and bring the bitumen to a boil.
3. Remove the bucket from the heat and, while stirring, pour in the diesel fuel in a thin stream so that the mixture does not have time to thicken even after it cools.

In order to prepare a quick-drying impregnation, dilute bitumen not with diesel fuel, but with gasoline. But in this case, do not heat the composition - the bitumen must be completely dissolved in gasoline. After processing wood with this solution, it can be safely painted, covered with various enamels and primed. But in no case do not use nitro-varnishes and paints!

That is why during the processing process, remember your safety measures, and unquestionably follow the instructions from the manufacturer. Before you buy an impregnation, carefully study the information about the degree of toxicity of the composition and its possible use and application inside the house.

Impregnation for wood is a necessary and important measure of protection in modern repair and construction. Regardless of the hazardous chemicals in the composition of the impregnation, it can significantly increase the operational life of all buildings and ensures safety from fires and various atmospheric phenomena. Good luck!

A wooden house is an environmentally friendly and safe housing that will never lose popularity. Natural wood does not emit toxic hazardous substances, has a pleasant forest aroma and promotes a rapid exchange of oxygen. In such a house there is always fresh air, a comfortable environment and a cozy atmosphere.

Logs are easy to stack, which reduces installation time. Due to their low weight, they do not require a deep expensive foundation. And thanks to the natural beauty and aesthetics of the materials, serious and expensive finishing is not required.

However, wooden houses have a significant disadvantage. Wood is a natural material that is exposed to the negative effects of the environment. The sun's rays, moisture and precipitation, insects lead to the fact that the material gradually darkens and collapses. Mold, cracks and fungus appear, and the structure loses its original appearance. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to process the log house inside and out with the help of various means.

Why do we need to process the log house from the outside

• Protects wood from destruction;
• For a long time it retains the original appearance of a bathhouse or a log house;
• Prevents the appearance of fungus and rot;
• Interferes with influence of insects and moisture;
• Increases the service life of a wooden house or bath;
• Improves the aesthetic qualities of logs, if necessary, you can change the appearance of the facade, get the desired color, shade or shine;
• Fire retardant treatment is a must for a log home, as fire is a significant threat to timber.

What means to choose

Today the market offers a lot of tools for processing a log house inside and out. It is important that they are environmentally friendly and retain the natural properties of wood. In addition, the products must perform the protective functions of the tree from moisture, insects and other negative factors. Decorative properties are also of great importance. There are four main groups of funds that will be needed to process the house from the outside:

1. Antiseptics are deeply absorbed into the wood, increasing the resistance of logs to moisture and microbes. Among antiseptic agents, wax, protective varnish and oils are distinguished. They destroy mold and blue.
2. Flame retardants prevent the spread of fire. At elevated temperatures, the composition of the product comes out of the log and forms a protective film. Such products prevent instantaneous ignition and resist open fire for several hours.
3. Preservative solutions and impregnations keep the wood in good condition. Special impregnating materials keep the surface smooth and even, prevent cracks. And film-forming compounds also create a water-repellent barrier. For these purposes, a primer or wood oils are suitable.
4. Protective finishes are more intended for decorating wood. These are paints and varnishes for wood. They protect the wooden surface from fading and dirt. There are also special bleaching compounds that will not allow the wood to darken over time.

Do not choose one tool that will immediately protect against mold and rot, insects and fire, while still performing decorative functions. Practice shows that such impregnations are not very effective. To achieve a high-quality and durable result, it is better to use fire retardants, antiseptics and decorative paints and varnishes separately.

All types of wood need additional protection, because the canvas is very susceptible to negative influences, such as:

• high level of humidity;
• sudden changes in temperature indicators;
• sun exposure, etc.

But, it is also worth protecting the wood from insects and rodents, fungus and mold, which can completely destroy the structure of the tree.

Surface treatment of a wooden house outside

So what is the best way to cover a wooden house so that it stands for many years? To date, it is easy to cope with such a problem, because on the market for this you can find various impregnations. These include not only antiseptics and flame retardants, but also paints and varnishes, various waxes and other impregnations that emphasize the decorative effect of wood and ensure its protection and long service life.

Processing wood with specialized compounds allows you to:

• protect the tree from the penetration of moisture into the structure of the finish;
• form a thin film on the surface of the material that will allow air to pass through, but will not allow moisture to be absorbed;
• protect the base from the harmful effects of the sun's rays;
• keep the tree intact by insects and fungus;
• prevent the spread of flames in case of fire;
• add visual appeal to the building, etc.

What are the tools for processing a house made of wood?

We process a wooden house on our own

And so, how to process wood and what is better to use for this? The solution to this issue is not as difficult as it seems at first glance.

Wax is used to extend the shelf life and transform the appearance of the building. It is applied in a couple of layers, for which only the liquid consistency of the substance is suitable.

Natural oil is best used to protect the surface from exposure to sunlight. Such an odorless substance covers the surface in 2 or 3 layers with an interval of ½ days. Complete drying occurs in a day. You can dissolve the oil with turpentine, and the consumption of the substance is 1000 g per 10 m2.

Danish resin oil is used only when working outside. After surface treatment, it is covered with a transparent film, which initially smells a little. Apply the substance in two layers with an interval of half a day. The surface dries after a day. Please note that the oil must be diluted with turpentine before use.

To process a wooden surface, you must:

1. choose the most suitable substance;
2. treat the surface with an antiseptic solution;
3. cover the tree with flame retardant;
4. protect from UV rays and moisture;
5. apply primer or varnish;
6. cover with wax.

Antiseptic substances

Self external processing

As a rule, upon completion of construction work, a wooden house needs to be coated with antiseptics, both inside and outside. Such processing is best done in the factory, but if this is not possible, you can do the work yourself.

The classification of antiseptic substances is given in the table.

Basically, antiseptics are made on a water basis, which do not prevent the penetration of air. After such a finish, as a result of drying of the surface, no smell remains.

In order for the antiseptic substance to cover the product qualitatively and evenly, the coating should be performed in several steps. To do this, the material is coated with a special substance in a couple of tiers, and then fire retardants and water-repellent substances are used. This technology helps to firmly protect the surface and can compete with factory processing.

How should the tree be treated?

We process a wooden house

And so, how to process the lining inside the house and outside? For this, it is necessary to adhere to a certain technology.

The wood processing process for all substances is similar, but working with antiseptics requires special care.

Work is best done in the following sequence:

• Decide which tool you will use. Mostly substances are used that are able to protect wood from putrefactive changes and burning. The substance is applied with a brush or spray gun in 2 or 3 layers. Start processing from the outside, and then proceed to the inner work. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, you can buy wood that has already been treated properly in the factory, but the extra protection will not be superfluous.
• The flame retardant, which protects your canvas from burning, should be applied in two layers after the surface has been treated with antiseptic substances. Antiperen is able to penetrate deeply into the structure of the material, after which he is not afraid of even direct contact with fire. Today, on the shelves of hardware stores you can see various analogues of such a substance, which are designed for specific purposes. But, it must be taken into account that the material may be charred, but direct combustion will not occur. Of course, not only wood can ignite from prolonged exposure to fire, but it is the fire retardant that allows you to extinguish the flame in time and prevent its distribution over the entire surface.
• The third layer that wood is treated with is protection from moisture, because the house should not absorb water. For such purposes, impregnations with a water-repellent feature are most suitable. Such a substance should evenly and thoroughly cover the entire wooden surface, increased attention should be paid to the ends. It will be enough to treat the sides of the log with two layers of impregnation, but on the ends, apply the substance in 4 or even 5 layers. Such processing will allow the tree to dry quickly, and the moisture will evaporate evenly, which will not lead to deformation of the wood.

If the wooden structure is properly treated inside and out, it will shrink evenly in the future, as a result of which you will be able to avoid cracks, warping and large gaps.

Why use soil?

Upon completion of the application of protective substances to the wood, the surface must be treated with a primer, which will serve as a preparation for subsequent work. For these purposes, you can use alkyd-acrylic primer, which is able to penetrate deep into the cracks and "seal" them. It is through the use of a primer that you will get a high level of adhesion. You can use the soil, both outside and inside the house.

At the end of all work, a wooden building should be covered with a bleaching mixture, which will externally transform wooden materials.

If there is a need or even an urgent need, the tree can be treated with other materials, such as wax. Such a frame adds attractiveness to wood and extends its life. It is no longer necessary to apply paint, because the appearance is quite beautiful and does not hide the naturalness of the finish.

As you can see, the processing of a building made of wood requires the use of specialized substances that differ in different features. Especially carefully approach the choice of impregnation, which can protect the material from mold and fire.

Any tree needs additional protection, as it is highly susceptible to the negative effects of moisture, temperature extremes, and direct sunlight. But it is important to provide protection from rodents, various insects, from mold and fungus, which literally destroy the structure of the material. How to process a wooden house so that it lasts as long as possible? Today this issue is being solved by using various impregnations and means. These are not only special antiseptics and fire retardants, but also paints and varnishes, waxes, which give the tree a decorative effect, ensuring its protection and durability.

Wood processing is necessary in order for the material to last as long as possible.

Processing allows:

• protect wood from water penetration;
• create a thin film on the surface that will protect against the harmful effects of moisture, but let air through;
• the material is not exposed to the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays;
• mold, fungi, etc. will no longer be able to cause any damage to the house;
• fire safety is taken to a new level, the tree does not ignite, does not contribute to the spread of flame;
• the appearance of the house becomes attractive.

Means for processing a wooden house

How to process a wooden house and how to do it? Everything is not so difficult. Wax products are used to increase durability, give the building a beautiful appearance. They must be applied in 2-3 layers, they are used only in liquid form.

Consumption is 1 liter per 12 m², subject to application in 1 layer.

After applying the oil, a shiny transparent surface is formed.

Natural oils are used for UV protection and are odorless. Apply in 2-3 layers, the interval is 12 hours, and complete drying is carried out in 24 hours. It dissolves with turpentine, the consumption is 1 liter per 10 m² of surface.

Resin-based Danish oil is used for outdoor use only. After application, a completely transparent coating is formed, which may initially have a slight odor. Oil is applied in 2 layers, the interval is 12 hours, the composition dries completely in 24 hours. Before work, there is a need to dilute the composition with turpentine. Consumption is 1 liter per 10 m².

The procedure for protecting a wooden surface is as follows:

• selection of the necessary means for work in accordance with all requirements;
• antiseptic treatment;
• flame retardant treatment;
• protection against ultraviolet, moisture;
• use of a primer or varnish;
• application of a special protective layer (wax).

Antiseptics for wood

Antiseptics will protect wood from rotting and fungi

After construction, a wooden house outside and inside is most often covered with antiseptic preparations. Such work will be much better and better done in a factory, but it can be done with your own hands. Impregnations of this kind are made on a water basis, they provide the opportunity for the tree to “breathe”, there is no longer any unpleasant odor after drying.

To ensure the quality and effectiveness of the antiseptic, it is necessary to apply it in stages. To do this, the wood is first treated with special compounds to protect against mold in the amount of 2-3 layers, after which flame retardants and water-repellent solutions must be used. This allows you to provide reliable protection, which will be almost in no way inferior to that performed in the workshop.

How to properly process wood?

How to process a wooden house outside? It is necessary to follow a certain procedure. The application process is similar for all products, but for antiseptics it requires more care. The process of protecting a wooden house using flame retardants and antiseptics is as follows:

Treating wood with flame retardants is necessary to make it resistant to fire.

1. First you need to decide which substances will be used for work. Most often, these are antiseptics and fire retardants, which protect the material from decay and open flame. The compositions themselves must be applied with a brush or spray, the number of layers is 2-3. Work must begin with external processing, but the inside also requires protection. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty once again, you can order a tree that has already undergone appropriate processing in the factory, but an extra layer will never be superfluous.
2. Fire retardants, which serve to protect wood from open flames, are applied in 2 layers after antiseptics. They impregnate the wood, after which they do not allow it to ignite even when in contact with an open fire, since evaporation cools the material and simultaneously forms a strong film that protects it. There are various flame retardants on the market today that are suitable for use in specific conditions. But it must be taken into account that the surface may be charred, but it will not ignite. Of course, with a very long contact, not only wood will catch fire, but fire retardants make it possible to start work on extinguishing the fire, preventing its spread.
3. The third layer is applied with special protection against increased moisture, since the wooden house outside and inside must be reliably protected from water absorption. For this, water-repellent impregnations are used, which are applied to the entire surface, special attention is paid to the ends, since they have the ability to absorb water about 50 times more than the rest of the parts. The side parts of the log and timber are processed in just 2 layers, while the ends of the material are processed in 4-5 layers. Such a layer ensures that the wood dries quickly, moisture evaporates evenly and correctly, which helps to avoid deformations.
