What can be used for painting wood?

Wood in interior design has always been highly valued for its elegance, beauty, naturalness, and durability. Painting wood is necessary to protect it from moisture and other external influences. To solve this problem, the paint and varnish market offers a wide range of materials for wood treatment: varnishes, stains, aerosols, and wood paints. TM TRIORA has developed a special series called TRIORA NATURE, which is designed exclusively for treating wooden surfaces.

Before painting wood, you need to choose a suitable material for this purpose. The choice should be based on:

  • Basic conditions — that is, whether the paint will be applied to a previously painted surface or not;
  • The future operating conditions of the wood.

Covering wood with paints is no longer relevant, as paints hide the wood’s natural grain. Therefore, transparent varnishes and stains have replaced them, as they emphasize the natural texture of the wood.

Painting with varnish is used for surfaces that require a high degree of protection from moisture, ultraviolet rays, and mechanical damage. For example, TRIORA acrylic varnish forms a strong protective film on the surface due to its structure. The varnish is colorless, highlights the natural texture of the wood, and adds a glossy shine.

If paint for wood has already been used for painting, varnish can be applied as a second layer to increase the durability of the coating.

Painting wood with TRIORA NATURE stain preserves the natural structure of the wood and creates a glossy shine. With stains, you can give wooden surfaces the shades of noble wood species. Since stains are absorbed into the surface, they do not form a film but still protect the surface from atmospheric effects.

Before painting wood, experts recommend using TM TRIORA antiseptic for wooden surfaces for additional protection against moisture, fungi, and mold, as well as to improve adhesion of the finishing material to the surface.

In summary, it should be said that it is necessary to paint wooden products and coatings. This should be done to extend their service life by protecting them from moisture and mechanical damage, as well as to highlight the natural beauty of this noble material.
