Maintenance.
1. Maintenance Requirements: The most important factor after timber installation is to maintaining the long term beauty and aesthetics of your exterior timber project is to do proper maintenance. Timber appearance will degrade over time, maintenance requirement will vary, depending on the timber species, application, location, exposure and coating selected. The most common problems are discoloration, loose boards, insect, decay, shrinking, cracking, mould and protruding nail. Timber maintenance should be carried out annually to ensure the timber appearance looking good as new. Maintenance Schedule Cladding, Siding, Façade & Screen: - Coating likely to fade around 2 to 3 years depending on the area that expose to the sun. - Due to the highly exposing to weather is subjected to UV radiation, mould and algae grow, the area that expose to high moisture are normally attract fungus to grow because these are the area do not get direct sunlight. - For the area that having strong UV light will fade faster than the area having less UV light, it will become discoloration.
Decks: - Due to the high human traffic, the wear and tear is faster on timber decking, therefore is required high frequency of timber maintenance. - 1 to 2 years on the area that expose to human traffic.
Fences: - Timber fencing is quite similar to timber siding or cladding application. The same maintenance schedule applied. - It dependent on exposure level to the sunlight and rain. - Coating likely to fade around 2 to 3 years depending on the area that expose to the sun.
Furniture: - Furniture exposure depends on the furniture as to whether it’s under shelter, semishelter or fully expose to weather. - Furniture usage will cause the furniture coating to wear off or fade overtime.
On bear timber, Timber seal must be applied first followed by two coats of Timber Glow, this includes worn coating with timber exposed..If coating is ok and you just want to freshen up the coating then all you need to do is clean and reapply one coat of Timber Glow.
