Instructions for maintenance/colour treatment
Care instructions for articles made of:
The wooden parts of the kit are untreated,
so a regular protective coating is absolutely essential.
Recommendation:
An initial coat on all sides with a wood primer (protection
against fungi and insects), and then one coat each of
intermediate and top coat with a high-quality wood-preserving
varnish (colour tones, UV protection, protection against
weathering). The initial and intermediate coats must be
applied prior to assembly. Please ensure that the wood panels
have dried prior to construction. The top coat is applied after
construction.
Regular varnishing is necessary to maintain the wood.
Make sure the products are given good UV protection and
that the working guidelines of the varnish manufacturer
are observed.
The wood has already received an initial immersion treatment
with a water-based impregnation. This protects the wood
against fungal and insect infestation.
Maintenance:
- The wood surface has to be examined at regular intervals for
damage (at least once a year).
Any damage or drying cracks that have appeared must be
repaired immediately.
- Painting/varnishing needs to be undertaken as a long-term
care measure to protect the surface. The required frequency
depends on the location and the conditions the surface is
exposed to and must commence before damage becomes
visible.
Please note that the printed colour samples are not
binding. Variations in colour are possible. Storage marks
on building components that are colour-treated on all
sides are due to technical reasons.
