How to process a wooden house outside and inside. What is the best way to process a wooden house? Proper processing of a wooden house

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, contributes to the 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.

Hello dear readers. Our article today is unusual in its way: it will not be short, but detailed; in it we will sequentially analyze all the stages of processing a new wooden house, so to speak, from "A" to "Z". So, your attention is given to the algorithm for the phased processing of a wooden house.

Wood processing prior to construction

The treatment of a wooden house with an antiseptic begins, oddly enough, not at the end of construction work, but even during the construction process: the logs and boards intended for the construction of the building will be in the fresh air for some time, which means that they must be protected for this period. For this, antiseptics are used, the validity of which can be different: from two to eight months. Wood can be processed by the manufacturer, but it can also be "raw": you need to check with the supplier. An important point: do not store the wood used for construction on the ground - no matter how well it is processed, moisture and mold will not spare it. The best storage option is on stands / substrates that prevent the wood from touching the ground.

Wood treatment with various impregnations: should suppliers be trusted?

Many companies supplying timber for wooden housing construction offer potential customers a seemingly win-win option: wood, fully prepared for the construction of a wooden structure. Of course, there is a benefit, however, is it worth it to trust the sellers of wooden structures so thoughtlessly? In no case do we want to denigrate them, but still we advise: agree only to salt impregnation of the timber, which to a certain extent protects the tree from decay and fire (salt impregnation with your own hands is absolutely ineffective if you do not have the opportunity to do it in a vacuum installation or salt the bars in a solution), but it is quite possible to do the treatment of wooden elements with fire retardant, antifungal and other impregnations on your own. Thus, you will 100 percent control the quality of the processing of the walls of a wooden house.

Processing of seams and facades of a wooden house

Processing a wooden house from the outside is not as easy as it might seem to someone. Wood needs maximum protection, so we do not recommend saving on sealing composition. The most vulnerable point of the outer walls of a wooden house are interventional seams and end cuts, so special attention should be paid to their protection. Acrylic sealants for wood have proven themselves perfectly, which are distinguished by good indicators of hydroprotection, moisture permeability, tolerance to biological aggression factors (mold, fungus, insects). And most importantly! The low cost of domestic sealants organically coincides with their high quality: for example, Accent-136 wood sealant is not only recognized by builders as the best material from this line, but also has a reasonable price.

Naturally, not only the seams, but also the walls of the house from the outside must be reliably protected. If you want your house to look "originally Russian", use wood oil. This composition is quite durable, reliably protects the wood from all atmospheric influences (UV rays, rain, snow, etc.), emphasizes the structure of the tree. Processing a wooden house with oil, which, by the way, is perfect for both outdoor and indoor work, will give you the opportunity not to worry about restoring the structure for 8-10 years.

Processing the base of a wooden house from a bar or log

The technology for the construction of wooden houses assumes the presence of a waterproofing layer between the foundation and the log house itself, which is roofing material. Theoretically, it is quite enough to protect the building from moisture, but in practice everything is far from being so “rosy”. Very often, the owners of wooden houses are faced with the fact that a year or two after the completion of construction, a gap appears between the foundation and the log house. It can be eliminated in various ways, using mounting foam, caulking, cement mortar, however, the most reliable and least time-consuming option is the use of wood sealants.

Fire treatment of a wooden house inside and out

We all understand that of all the negative factors, a tree is most susceptible to the influence of fire, and the influence is the most dangerous - fast and potent. The internal and external treatment of a wooden house from fire is your second step after you have re-and finally treated all surfaces with an antiseptic (recall that it is also necessary to impregnate logs / beams with an antiseptic composition for the first time so that they do not rot during storage). Fire retardant impregnation should be used after a certain period of time after treatment with an antiseptic (about 2 weeks), so that one substance, reacting with another, does not mutually worsen the quality of the impregnation. Fire and bioprotective impregnation of wooden houses is very important, so saving on them is definitely not worth it, especially since the treatment with protective compounds is done once and is valid for a long time.

Processing a wooden house from beetles, mold, fungus

Internal and external processing of a wooden house must necessarily include the use of impregnations that protect wood from biological factors. Wooden structures are a “tidbit” for all kinds of pests, mold, fungus, so if you don’t want your house to “sick”, use special protective primers and impregnations. High-quality acrylic compositions, both imported and domestic, can be safely used not only for outdoor work, but also for processing the internal walls of a wooden house.

Treatment of wooden floors and walls inside the house

A wooden house is valuable precisely because wood creates a unique microclimate in the room, maintains humidity at an optimal level, and saturates the air with its aroma. Therefore, the natural task of the owner of a wooden log house is to preserve the natural beauty of wooden surfaces. Due to the availability of high-quality finishing materials on the modern construction market, such as oil solutions, oil with the addition of wax, oil-azure, etc., it is possible not only to reliably protect the internal walls, floors and ceilings of the house from various negative factors, but also to emphasize the structure wood, to make its natural relief more pronounced. By the way, wood oil for interior work may not be ordinary, but colored, so it can be used as a decorative element.

And, of course, do not forget that the internal interventional seams also need to be processed. Using a sealant for wood (transparent, colored, matching the walls), you will reliably protect the premises from moisture, drafts, mold: your home will remain warm and cozy in any bad weather.

• 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 wood - oak, birch and beech sapwood, elm kernel and maple;

Medium hardy tree - fir, spruce, larch, cedar sapwood;

Decay-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:

Difficult - spruce, ash, oak and beech core;

Medium - linden, pine kernel, alder, aspen, maple sapwood;

Lightweight - 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 bitumen.

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, coated with various enamels and primed. But in no case do not use nitro-varnishes and paints!

Precautionary measures

Impregnation for a wooden house outside and inside, flame retardant and antiseptic, contain dangerous chemical additives and substances that are capable of. 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 essential for a log house, 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.

Wall cladding inside the house with clapboard and other ways to use natural wood in decoration are quite popular today. Naturally, this naturally raises the question of how to process the lining inside a wooden house in order to protect it from moisture and other factors.

In our article, we will try to analyze in detail the features of the compositions used, as well as give recommendations for painting and varnishing wooden surfaces.

Overview of materials

Why is wood protection needed?

The internal processing of a wooden house is included in the list of mandatory measures for interior decoration. Indeed, the importance of the correct selection and application of a protective composition for wood is difficult to overestimate.

There are several reasons for this:

• Firstly, with a long stay in a humid environment, the wood fibers swell, and all the details from which the finish is made increase in size.. As a result, wall cladding is deformed, which can lead to cracks and other defects. To avoid this, lining and other finishing elements are impregnated or coated with compounds that minimize the contact of wood and water.

• Secondly, a humid environment together with high temperatures form an ideal environment for the development of microorganisms, including pathogenic bacteria and fungi.. The only way to prevent this is to use antiseptic compounds that have a bactericidal and fungicidal effect.

Note!
Very often, beginners are interested in whether it is necessary to treat a tree with an antiseptic indoors with a normal level of humidity.
In principle, this is not necessary, but in any case, antibacterial or antifungal impregnation will not hurt.

• Thirdly, the internal processing of the walls of a wooden house also performs a design function.. Modern compositions for the most part either contain pigments in finished form, or allow the introduction of colors, so that, if necessary, we can simultaneously provide a change in the shade of the finish along with moisture protection.

Concluding a brief analysis, it should be noted that the price of quality wood protection products from moisture and microorganisms is quite high. At the same time, their use significantly extends the life of the finish, so in the end, the processing of wooden walls inside the house is fully justified.

Used formulations

To solve the problems described by us in the previous section, a variety of compositions are used today. You can analyze their features according to the table below:

As you can see, there is plenty to choose how to process wooden walls inside the house. However, it is not enough to choose - you also need to apply the composition correctly.

Work technology

Preparatory work

If you decide to paint or varnish the wooden wall sheathing, then the instructions in this section will help you understand the nuances of the technology.

Work must begin with surface preparation:

• If the boards were previously painted or varnished, then the old coating must be removed. We soften the painted layer with warm water or a stream of hot air from a building hair dryer, after which we remove it with a spatula.
• We remove the remains of paint and varnish with a grinder.
• If we process new wood, then it all the more needs to be sanded. To do this, we consistently use several abrasive materials, gradually reducing the grain size - so we get a perfectly flat surface.

Advice!
If there are defects on the skin, then before sanding they must be masked by taking a small amount of wood putty.
After waiting for the putty to dry, we clean the area with sandpaper, after which we grind the surface.

• After that, it makes sense to treat all surfaces with a water-based penetrating antiseptic primer.
• We apply the primer in one or two layers, making sure that the wood does not get too wet.
• After the primed surface has dried, the lining inside the house can be painted or varnished.

Application of the composition

Both painting and varnishing can be done by hand.

The process itself is not difficult, but there are still a few recommendations that you should listen to:

• Having decided how to process a tree inside the house, it is worth purchasing the selected composition with a small margin. The thing is that the shade of paint or tinted varnish in different batches may differ, so it is better to paint everything with one material.
• Before starting work, mix the paint and varnish thoroughly. This is done in order to compensate for the separation of components that occurred during storage.

• To apply the composition, use a wide flat brush. We also need a narrow brush on a long curved handle - with it we will penetrate into hard-to-reach places.
• We apply paint and varnish in several layers. The more layers and the smaller their thickness, the better the result.
• The direction of strokes should be perpendicular. So, for example, even layers are applied vertically, odd layers horizontally, or vice versa.
• Dry the surface after applying each layer. Drying time depends on the type of composition used, so you need to plan the work individually.

And most importantly, during drying, a fresh layer of finish should be protected from exposure to drafts and temperature changes, otherwise the coating will quickly begin to crack and peel off.

Conclusion

When choosing how to process a wooden house inside, you need to analyze which material properties will be a priority for you. Well, information materials, including a very informative video in this article, will help to understand the intricacies of applying paints, varnishes and impregnations.

Buildings made of natural wood have a huge number of advantages, but they also have significant drawbacks: a tendency to rot and high sensitivity to the effects of microorganisms and fungi. If the wood is not regularly treated with special protective compounds, the material will not be able to resist harmful insects, moisture, ultraviolet radiation, rot and mold.

What tools are used to process wooden buildings?

The processing of wooden houses and outbuildings from the outside should be comprehensive, for this they use antiseptics, flame retardants, UV protection agents and varnish.

As an antiseptic, experts advise buying Rogneda, Senezh, Healthy Home, Aquatex, Tikurilla. In stores, you can find products that simultaneously act as antiseptics and fire retardants. They protect the wood from decay and fire.

Waxes and natural oils are used to protect against ultraviolet rays. They are applied in 2-3 layers, each with an interval of 12 hours.

What is primer used for?

After treatment with an antiseptic and flame retardant, you can start using a primer. For this, only alkyd-acrylic compounds are suitable, penetrating into the pores of the tree and reliably sealing them.

The primer provides the wood with perfect adhesion. The tool can be used to process a wooden house and outbuildings, not only outside, but also inside.

How to give a wooden building an impeccable look?

In order for a wooden building to look aesthetically pleasing and retain its impeccable appearance for a long time, it is necessary to treat the walls with special bleaching compounds. After all work is completed, the wood can be covered with several layers of wax. A log or timber acquires an attractive natural look, the building does not need to be painted.

If you decide to paint your house, you can combine the two steps (painting and UV protection) by buying paint with UV filters. Moisture protector can be omitted if the house is being painted with waterproof or water-based paint.

Means for processing wooden houses are designed to protect against mold, fungus, fire, and the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. Wax will give buildings an aesthetic appearance, and impregnations will prevent shrinkage of the building, deformation and cracking.

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, coated 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!
