Collection: Wood sealants
What is a sealant?
A sealant is a surface treatment for wood that forms a protective layer. Depending on the product, it can make the surface more resistant to moisture, dirt, and daily wear. Unlike penetrating oils, a lacquer sealant forms a film on the wood surface.
Why is a sealant useful?
Wood is a natural material that reacts to moisture and mechanical stress. A suitable sealant can protect the surface from moisture, dirt, and signs of wear, and, depending on the system, facilitates ongoing cleaning and maintenance.
What types of sealants are available?
-
1K sealant: Ready-to-use one-component systems for various demands and areas of application.
-
2K sealant: Two-component systems consisting of sealant and hardener for wood and parquet surfaces subject to higher stress.
-
Different gloss levels: Depending on the product, options such as extra-matte, matte, semi-matte, or glossy surfaces are available.
-
Water-based sealants: Depending on the product, water-based systems are available for the surface treatment of wood and parquet floors.
How is a sealant applied correctly?
-
Preparation: The wood surface should be clean, dry, and free of dust. Depending on the substrate, appropriate sanding may be required beforehand.
-
Priming: Depending on the sealant system and the substrate, a suitable primer may be required.
-
Applying the sealant: The sealant is applied according to the manufacturer's instructions using the designated tool.
-
Observe drying time: Drying and recoating times depend on the respective product and processing conditions.
-
Intermediate sanding: If required by the manufacturer, intermediate sanding is performed between coats.
-
Apply further coats: The number and structure of the coats depend on the respective sealant system.
The next steps after sealing
After application, the sealant must dry and fully cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. For subsequent use and maintenance, the specifications of the respective product should be observed.
-
Regular cleaning: Use suitable cleaning agents that are tailored to sealed wood surfaces.
-
Surface care: Depending on the sealant, suitable care products can be used for regular refreshment.
-
Consider wear and tear: Observe the manufacturer's instructions regarding walkability and usage, especially during the curing period.
-
Check the surface: As wear increases, a refreshment or renewed surface treatment may be necessary depending on the condition and sealant system.
