A wooden floor on the terrace needs regular care so that it stays beautiful and resistant for a long time. With these tips you protect your wood.
Wooden floors on terraces create a natural, warm atmosphere and invite you to relax. However, the coverings are constantly exposed to the weather and this is not without consequences. Without the right care, the wood can fade, get cracks or be affected by moss. We explain how you prevent damage.
Cracks, loose planks or flaking are unsightly. Especially when the damage is small, they appear rather insignificant in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But that’s a fallacy, because untreated you can quickly get bigger.
Check your wooden floor regularly and improve small damage immediately. Cracks can be closed with wooden putty, loose screws should be followed up. This way you avoid larger repairs and ensure a long service life of your terrace.
Wood must be protected from UV radiation, moisture and pests. Use wood oil or glaze regularly to seal the surface. While the oil penetrates deep into the wood and receives the natural color, the glaze forms a protective layer. Treatment is recommended twice a year, especially in sun or rainy areas.
Dediciency, dust and moisture add the wood and promote moss formation. Run your terrace regularly and clean it with water and a soft brush. Use mild cleaning agents and do without the high -pressure cleaner because it can damage the wood structure. A clean surface significantly extends the lifespan of your terrace.
With the right care, your wooden floor remains beautiful and resistant for many years. In addition to regular cleaning and protection treatments, you should also pay attention to signs of pests.
