Maintenance Guidelines

To ensure the longevity of a wooden building through proper wood treatment, here are some key tips:

1. Preventive Treatment:

Apply an anti-parasite treatment to the wood immediately after installation to protect it from harmful insects such as termites and fungi. This is especially important for untreated wood.

2. Weather Protection:

Apply protective coatings such as paints, impregnations, or wood oils to shield the wood from weather conditions, rain, sun, and humidity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the type of coating and application frequency.

3. Regular Maintenance:

It is essential to perform regular wood maintenance by following a well-defined schedule. This schedule may include various activities such as repairing potential damage, touching up protective coatings, and replacing damaged parts or joints. The maintenance frequency depends on several factors, including the products used and the location of the wooden structure. In general, it is recommended to reapply impregnations or paints every 2 to 5 years. However, the frequency may vary depending on weather exposure, humidity levels, and other climatic factors that may affect the wooden structure. Conducting regular inspections and following the manufacturer’s recommendations will help maintain the wood in good condition over time.

4. Roof Treatment:

Ensure that the roof is well protected and waterproofed to prevent water leaks. Regularly check the roofing and replace any damaged sections.

5. Moisture Control:

Keep the wood dry to prevent mold growth or rot. Use waterproof covering materials, drainage areas, and sealants to avoid moisture buildup.

6. Proper Ventilation:

Ensure good ventilation inside the wooden building to prevent moisture accumulation. This will help preserve the integrity of the wood.

By following these tips and adopting a proactive maintenance approach, you can significantly contribute to preserving the longevity and beauty of your wooden building.
