Incorrect storage may result in: - Cracks
- Distortion and warping
- Rotting (infestation by pests, etc.)
Store the wood so that it is protected
from the elements and ensure sufficient
ventilation.
Wood is a natural product. Varied colouring, knurls and crack formation are normal and have no influence on the
structural engineering.
Dry cracks may form as a result of extreme weather conditions, especially after long hot periods. These dry cracks are
in no way a defect in quality but are a part of the natural appearance of the wood. Depending on the weather, these
cracks may close up again to a minimum. Moreover, these dry cracks, which form longitudinally in the wood, have no
effect on the strength and resilience of the material.
Packaging
Please do not simply throw away the packaging material. Paper, card and corrugated board as well as plastic
packaging materials should be placed in the correct collection containers.
With a few weka products, the transport pallet comprises two floor beams which are required for assembly of the cabin
and two distance timbers which are only packaging material and may be disposed of. In such cases, there will be a
special note on the packaging of the product.
Wood preservation for untreated products
Untreated wood requires wood preservation measures. For professional wood preservation treatment, contact a wood
preservative expert.
Before assembly, we recommend that you treat all untreated wood components with blue stain and then with a wood
protect
ion agent. A regular coating in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions of the wood protection agent is
necessary to protect the wood.
Wood preservation measures are the responsibility of the customer. No guarantee can be given if the wood is not
properly preserved. Please also read the provisions relating to this in our guarantee statements.
Wood preservatives for glazed/coloured products
The supplied weather protection glaze is meant for impregnation of untreated cut edges and for eliminating minor
paint damage that may arise during assembly.
Depending on the location and the weathering of the product, the paint must be renewed periodically.
This must be considered before installation!
Prior to assembly, find out whether you require planning permission to erect a sauna cabin.
When marking out your cabin at the planned site, pay particular attention to the location of the existing electricity and
water connections/cables.
