softwood

The basic material used for the production of benches is softwood. A prerequisite for the use of softwood is its proper preparation. It is necessary to dry the wood, select it, process it to obtain the desired dimensions and correct preparation for varnishing. Also important is the selection of the right paint system and its use in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Wood subjected to external conditions is constantly changing. The influence of variable air humidity, sunlight, the effect of variable temperatures cause the so-called wood work, which results in cracks in wood elements. This is not a defect of wood, but its natural feature. In order to permanently enjoy the nice appearance of wooden furniture elements, they should be subjected to regular maintenance and renovation.
