Saunders Modern Wood Care

For fir fences exposed to sun and rain, we recommend a water-based protective varnish, resistant to UV. It forms an elastic film that does not yellow and allows the wood to breathe. Apply in two coats, with a 4-6 hour break between them, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C.

Yes, the correct order is: antifungal primer on clean, dry wood, then after 24 hours apply the natural terrace oil. The primer creates a barrier against mold, and the oil penetrates the fibers and makes the surface water-repellent. Ensure the primer is completely dry before the next coat.

Touch dry occurs in about 2 hours, but the coat becomes resistant to light traffic after 6-8 hours. Complete drying, which ensures maximum durability, is achieved in 48 hours, depending on air humidity and ventilation. Do not expose the fence to rain during this period.

Before applying any treatment, clean the surface with a mild solution of oxygen-based bleach (not chlorine) and water, in a 1:3 ratio. Let it act for 15 minutes, rinse well, and let the wood dry completely for 48 hours. Then apply an antifungal primer before the varnish or oil.

It is not recommended. Natural oil for outdoor terraces is formulated for horizontal surfaces, with heavy traffic and direct water exposure. For garden furniture (tables, chairs), a water-based varnish is more suitable, as it creates a harder, scratch-resistant film.

Yes, all products in the Saunders Modern Wood Care range are water-based and contain no harmful volatile organic solvents. The natural oil is made from biodegradable vegetable oils, and the varnish and antifungal primer do not emit toxic vapors after drying. You can apply the treatments near plants without risk, but avoid direct contact in liquid form.
