When we want to protect wood from the weather impacts and extend its life, we can use transparent coatings for wood or varnishes. Both types have their advantages and cases of usage. Check out in continuation which ones and what kind.
Transparent (clearcoat) wood stain
They are usually colourless or slightly coloured coatings that allow the natural wood to be visible and emphasize its texture. These coatings penetrate the wood structure and provide protection against UV rays, humidity, and other weather impacts, while allowing the wood to “breathe”. Transparent coatings such as JUBIN Lasur and JUBIN Lasur transparent matt are more suitable for use on wood where we want to preserve the natural appearance, such as terraces, garden furniture, wooden facades or fences.
Varnishes for wood
Varnishes for wood, such as JUBIN Decor Universal (Gloss or Matt), completely cover the wood with a paint layer. They offer excellent protection against UV rays, humidity, mould and other impacts, and at the same time give the wood a uniform colour. Decorative painting covers the surface in such a way that only the relief of the wood structure remains slightly visible, so they can be used to cover up any defects on the wooden surface and at the same time improve the aesthetic appearance of the individual wooden element. Varnishes are often used on wood that is not particularly decorative, such as wooden fences, garden patios, building exteriors and other construction elements.
When choosing between transparent stains and varnishes for wood, it is important to consider the desired look, type of wood, location, weather exposure and maintenance requirements. Correct use and regular maintenance of wood coatings can significantly contribute to the durability and aesthetic appearance of the wooden surface.
JUBIN Lasur and JUBIN Decor Universal are water-based wood paints, which means that they do not have an unpleasant smell and are environmentally and user friendly. At the same time, they can also be used in a system with the JUBIN Wood impregnation UV primer, which offers protection of wood against weather impacts and wood pests.
