Outdoor wooden floor? Prepare it for the summer

To maintain an enviable wooden flooring, it is necessary to resort to specific protective treatments, which preserve the wood and enhance its naturalness. Here are Chimiver® tips for decking.

As a living and porous material, wood reacts negatively to adverse conditions, losing its original vigor, becoming gray and wearing out. Rain, wind, insects, the formation of fungi, moss … there are many factors that can affect outdoor wood surfaces and cause decay.

Whether it is a terrace or a garden, it does not matter, after months of exposure to severe atmospheric agents, the external surfaces and flooring lose their natural splendor.

To keep the decking aesthetics and functionality over time, it is therefore necessary to carry out specific protective treatments, which enhance the naturalness of the wood but at the same time preserve its value over time.
