WOOD
NOTE:
For all play equipment with wooden elements, it cannot be ruled out that
dry cracks may develop. These natural changes of wood are dependent on climate
conditions as well as on the age and usage of the play equipment. Longer dry peri-
ods may lead to more dry cracks.
This development, however, does not represent a quality defect. Static properties of
the equipment are not impaired.
See EN 1176 Bbl 1:2019-01 4.2.7.6: Dry cracks in wood elements as a conse-
quence of weather conditions are not to be considered as dangerous openings in
terms of the standard due to the fact that the shape of the cracks (tapering towards
the inside) makes it almost impossible for fingers to get trapped in them.
MAINTENANCE:
To ensure a long life of stilum playground equipment, wooden
surfaces should be regularly re-glazed. This provides the wooden surfaces with the
necessary protection and preserves the look. Areas which are not exposed to rain
should be regularly freed from deposits.
The cleaning intervals depend on the degree and type of soiling as well as on the
exigencies on cleanliness. It is recommended to clean and / or glaze at every 6
to 12 months, or to shorten the cleaning interval to 3 to 6 months if the wheather
conditions are bad.
LASUR:
Use a soft and flat brush or / and a glaze application roll to paint.
The wood should be cleaned a few hours before glazing. That can be done with
mild javel water, which should in any case be rubbed off afterwards. For resistant
dirt use a wood cleaner. Eventually a light abrasion is necessary. If water-based de-
tergents are used for cleaning, please ensure that the wood elements are thorough-
ly dried before the glazing is done.
Always brush in one direction, so that the glaze can spread evenly. Apply very
thinly!
Remove glaze with a soft cotton cloth.
Then let the freshly glazed wood dry for at least one day and prohibit the use of the
equipment for this duration.
