In order
to maintain and enhance the beautiful appearance of your log cabin
it is essential that you apply the best possible wood treatment.
UV light causes the greatest degree of breakdown in wood
coating products and Rystix Timbacare has proven its premium
quality characteristics in environments with solar radiation
levels up to three times those experienced in the UK. The Council
for Scientific and Industrial Research also confirmed that Rystix
out-performed its competitors.
Exterior Armadek is available in a range of 5 colours and
a clear variant. The product is a tough, grain enhancing, translucent
sealer providing years of protection.
After a number of years you should check for wear on the surface
of the coating. Depending on weathering you will need to apply
a maintenance coat which will involve washing down the surface
with a light detergent soap and then re-coating.
Failure to treat your log cabin will result in deterioration
to the appearance. Ultra Violet (UV light) is a form of high energy,
which is of a particular wavelength that is able to penetrate the
surface of wood. Because it is high energy it actually breaks down
and destroys the cellulose structure of timber. Over a period of
time depending on how long the exposure is and how concentrated
the UV is, wood turns grey and eventually you will find the surface
powders.
