• Today, timber is one of the most popular building
  materials throughout Australia. The main reason
  for this is its strength and durability. It also
  looks good and has proved to be an excellent
  environmentally friendly solution. Though timber
  is a good and sturdy material, no one can deny
  the fact that it can deteriorate over time. It
  is, therefore, important to protect and treat it
  efficiently, so it would last for years to come.

• Waterproof Your Timber

Water is one of the elements, that can cause
quick deterioration of your wood. The best thing
to do here is to waterproof your timber.
Waterproofing your timber would prevent warping,
rotting, cracking and quick deterioration.
Timber, if not treated well, accumulates water.
Once the water dries up, the timber contracts.
This cycle of contracting and expanding will
eventually damage the timber causing it to crack
and warp. The best way to protect your timber is
to use a proper sealant. The most common sealants

• Epoxy resin
• Non-toxic waterproofing formulas
• Waterproofing oils like linseed oil and tung oil

Treat the Scratches Marks
Scratches and marks are inevitable on timber
floorings and furniture, no matter how careful
you are. This is because most of the things are
dropped, dragged or placed daily. You can remove
these scratches. If the scratches are light, just
polish the surface with cotton, wool or
microfibre cloth. If the scratches are a bit
deep, you can use a touch-up pen. For extremely
deeper scratches, you need to talk to experts.
