Wooden garden furniture is popular because of its natural look, timeless charm and warm character. They fit into both modern and rural gardens and are used daily during the outdoor season. But these materials are also continuously exposed to changing weather conditions, such as sun, rain, wind and night dew. Without the right protection, they can quickly weather, discolour, crack or show stains.
To counteract this vulnerability and extend its lifespan, wooden garden furniture is effectively treated with Wood Coat, a breathable and dirt-repellent wood impregnation that protects the furniture against external influences, without affecting its natural look.
Purpose of the treatment
The treatment is aimed at providing:
- Long-term protection against atmospheric pollution, such as soot, dust, rainwater and air pollution
- Stain-repellent effect – prevents absorption of red wine, grease, coffee or bird droppings
- Prevention of moisture absorption, cracking, wood rot or mould
- Preservation of the authentic appearance and structure of the wood
- An environmentally friendly and low-maintenance solution
- Easy repair and touch-up instead of completely repainting
Application method and properties
Wood Coat is applied to a cleaned and dry surface. The application is simple: the product can be applied with a cloth, brush or spray, depending on the type of furniture and the wood structure.
Features:
- Penetrates deep into the wood and does not seal the surface
- Does not form a layer or gloss – the wood retains its natural feel
- Prevents the adhesion of dirt, green deposits or bird droppings
- Limits the greying of the wood or ensures controlled greying, depending on your preference
- Repeatable without sanding or biting – ideal for annual maintenance
Suitable applications
Wood Coat is suitable for various types of wooden outdoor furniture:
- Tables, benches, chairs and sun loungers
- Picnic sets, lounge sets and seating blocks
- Planters and wooden accessories
- Wooden patio screens or garden fences
- Play furniture or outdoor kitchens made of wood
Exotic and hardwood types (such as teak, bangkirai and meranti) can also be treated without any problems.
Weatherproof benefits
Outdoor furniture has to endure a lot:
- Rain and moisture can cause wood to swell, rot or become moldy
- Sunlight affects the color and causes drying out and cracking
- Wind brings sand and dust that settle in the pores
- Food and drink cause stains and permanent discoloration
Wood Coat provides preventative protection against all these influences, making cleaning easier and intensive maintenance virtually unnecessary.
Ease of maintenance
With Wood Coat, maintenance is reduced to a minimum:
- Spilled liquids do not soak in and are easy to remove
- No annual sanding or staining required
- A soft cloth with lukewarm water is sufficient in most cases
- Ideal for use in the catering industry, rental or public outdoor areas where intensive use goes hand in hand with high maintenance requirements
Sustainable and circular
Wood Coat fits within circular maintenance:
- Extends the lifespan of existing furniture
- Limits waste, replacement and chemically intensive treatments
- Is solvent-free and friendly to people and the environment
- Can be updated annually or periodically without sanding
- Suitable for projects where aesthetics and sustainability are important
