1. WOOD, A NATURAL MATERIAL
Being a natural material, wood will have some imperfections. These are normal and have no impact on
the service life of the product. A certain number are superficial and do not fall within the scope of the
guarantees.
1.1 Resin beads
When resinous wood species are autoclaved, the alternating pressure
and vacuum can cause sticky residue to rise to the surface. To remove
it, scrape it carefully with an appropriate tool, being careful not to touch
the wood. Turpentine spirits could also be effective, but could stain the
wood if too much is applied.
1.2 Salt stains
Les bois traités en autoclave montrent fréquemment de petites taches
vertes en surface. Si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez les poncer
légèrement. Cette couleur disparaîtra dans le temps.
1.3 Greying
Wood exposed to the elements is susceptible to greying. Some people
appreciate the silvery sheen of this natural patina.e.
1.4 Splitting and cracking
Wood expands and contracts when exposed to variations in humidity
and temperature. As it dries, wood contracts unevenly resulting in the
appearance of cracks. While these can seem to be cause for concern,
they have no impact on the mechanical properties of the product and
therefore do not fall within the scope of the guarantee.
1.5 Knots
Knots mark the places where branches were attached. The quantity
and size depends on the species of wood and the sorting process. For
outdoor installations, small adherent knots are acceptable. The more
wood is sorted to limit the size and number of knots, the more expensive
the wood.
1.6 Joined wood
To ensure the highest quality in the selection of our wood, it is sorted
meticulously before planing. Sections that feature defects (knots,
cracks, etc.) on both sides are removed and the wood is then joined
together (see image).It is not unusual to find joined slats in the wooden
pool structure as this in no way penalises the mechanical properties
of the wood. Similarly, imperfections on the inner surface of the pool
structure (knots, cracks, etc.) are also acceptable.
1.7 Surface mould
Mould, caused by microscopic fungi, can grow on wood, particularly on
resinous species, on which the growth can appear as “blueing”. It is a
surface phenomenon, exacerbated by heat, humidity and inadequate
aeration and is characterised by stains ranging from light to dark blue.
They can be removed by wiping the surface. Remember that class IV treated wood is protected against
attack by fungi that could destroy the physical and mechanical properties of the wood. For more detail, see
the MyPool guarantees covering the species and the treatment.
