Protection treatment
The timber used for the products LUOMAN products has not been treated. Protection treatment
of the building must be performed immediately after erecting the cabin as soon as the weather
is suitable for it. The first treatment should be done with a with a colorless wood preservative
that prevents the formation of mould and blue stain. Also, the interior of the building must be
treated. Only use wood preservatives that are suitable for log surfaces. Ask for advice of
suitable products from resellers of wood preservatives.
Small black or blue mould spots may easily be formed both on treated and untreated wooden
surfaces in certain conditions. A mould spot is not harmful for the wood nor a defect. It is only
an aesthetic problem that can usually be washed away similarly as dirt. It is also possible to
sand the spots before the surface treatment.
Maintenance
Safe long-term use of the building requires regular checking, possible reparation of the
fastenings and inspecting the condition of the parts. Pay special attention to the roof
construction, its covering material, doors and windows, foundation fastenings, the protection
against storm as well as surface treatment of any wooden parts. Failure to perform regular
maintenance can cause damage to the building or a safety risk to its user.
Regularly inspect the condition of the protection treatment and re-new it when necessary.
Inspect the bottom rails of the doors, windows and their frames, end surface of timbers and
parts stressed by hard weather- or usage-related wearing. Check the functioning of doors and
windows and adjust hinges when necessary. Check the silicon seals of doors and windows,
renewing them when necessary. It is very important to make sure that underneath the
building is well-ventilated. Also installing ventilation grills (not included) on top of the gable
triangles is recommended to let moisture get out from the building.
