Frequently Asked Questions
Is wood preservation necessary for all types of wood?
Yes, most types of wood benefit from preservation treatments, especially if exposed to moisture, insects, or harsh weather conditions. Untreated wood is prone to decay, warping, or pest infestations, so applying a wood preservative is crucial to prolong the life and appearance of your wood.
Can varnishing protect wood from water damage and weathering?
Yes, varnish creates a protective layer that helps shield the wood from water, moisture, and weather elements. It’s especially important for exterior wood exposed to rain, sun, and fluctuating temperatures. Regular maintenance and reapplication are key to maintaining this protection.
What's the difference between wood preservative and varnish?
Wood preservatives penetrate the wood to protect it from within, while varnishes form a protective layer on the surface. We often use preservatives for exterior wood and follow with a varnish for added protection and aesthetics.
How often should I reapply varnish to maintain protection?
The frequency of reapplying varnish depends on factors such as exposure to sunlight, humidity, and usage. For exterior wood, it is recommended to reapply varnish every 2 to 3 years, while interior wood may only need reapplication every 4 to 5 years, depending on wear and tear.
How long does the treatment last?
The longevity of the treatment depends on various factors such as wood type, location, and exposure to elements. Generally, our treatments can last 3-5 years for exterior wood and 5-10 years for interior wood with proper maintenance.
Can you match existing wood finishes?
Yes, we can match most existing finishes. Our team is skilled in color matching and can provide samples for your approval before proceeding with the full treatment.
