Instructions for maintenance/colour
treatment
Care instructions for articles made of:
Solid structural timber, softwood and laminated
wood, untreated
The wooden parts of the kit are untreated, so a
regular protective coating is absolutely essential.
Recommendation:
An initial coat on all sides with a wood primer
(protection against fungi and insects), and then
one coat each of intermediate and top coat
with a high-quality wood-preserving varnish
(colour tones, UV protection, protection against
weathering). The following applies to wood
panel cabins: The initial and intermediate coats
must be applied prior to assembly. Please ensure
that the wood panels have dried prior to
construction. The top coat is applied after
construction.
Regular varnishing is necessary to maintain the
wood. Make sure the products are given good
UV protection and that the working guidelines of
the varnish manufacturer are observed.
Maintenance:
- The wood surface has to be examined at
regular intervals for damage (at least once a
year).
Any damage or drying cracks that have
appeared must be repaired immediately.
- Painting/varnishing needs to be undertaken as
a long-term care measure to protect the surface.
The required frequency
depends on the location and the conditions
the surface is exposed to and must commence
before damage becomes visible.
Please note that the printed colour samples are
not binding. Variations in colour are possible.
Storage marks on building components that are
colour-treated on all sides are due to technical
reasons.
