Protect your outdoor retreat from the elements and preserve the natural look of the wood. Discover which treatment suits your preferences and use.
The right wood treatment
If you're after convenience and minimal maintenance, pressure impregnation is a strong choice. Would you prefer more influence over the colour and appearance? Then staining or spray impregnation offers greater flexibility. Each treatment protects the wood, but they differ in look, durability and upkeep.
Lugarde garden houses, log cabins and verandas are supplied untreated as standard. Should you opt for a pre-treatment, various durable options are available to protect the wood to the fullest. This way, you'll extend the lifespan of your outdoor retreat and preserve its quality for years to come.
For a long-lasting result, we recommend first impregnating the wood and then finishing it with several coats of moisture-regulating paint with UV protection. Never use fully transparent paint. This keeps the wood protected from the elements. Inspect your outdoor retreat each year and touch up any small imperfections promptly. For the best advice and suitable products, please get in touch with our dealers.
Have a careful read through our wood treatment pages. That way, you'll know exactly what to expect and can make the right choice with confidence.
The colour and finish play a major role in the look of your outdoor retreat. Will you go for a natural wood look, a modern shade or a solid colour that makes a statement?
Every finish influences colour, texture and maintenance. Translucent treatments keep the wood grain visible, but make sure the paint always contains pigment. Never use a fully transparent stain. Solid colours offer better preservation and create a sleek, even finish.
The available colours vary by treatment and are matched to the chosen system. That way, you'll pick a finish that isn't just beautiful, but also suits the way you use your outdoor retreat.
Each colour treatment offers its own combination of appearance, protection and maintenance. By making the right choice, you ensure a finish that fits your preferences and everyday use.
