Wood is prone to rotting if it is used outdoors without being sealed. Not only will rot make wood projects less visually pleasing, but it can also create a hazard of collapse. Rot can develop in a variety of ways, but mold, mildew, and termites are a few of the most common culprits. Furthermore, once rot begins, there is no real way to stop the process. Staining wood projects right away and applying re-coats regularly is crucial to avoiding rot in the first place.
Wood makes an excellent surface for outdoor walking areas, such as decks, but it also undergoes more strain in this setting because of foot traffic. While painting can be used in this situation, it can be a poor choice because of low durability. Before long, the paint may start to crack and flake away, marring appearance and exposing the wood to the elements. Sealant and staining, by contrast, is cheaper to apply and lasts longer before maintenance becomes necessary.
The entry of water into wood can cause more than rot. If wood freezes after taking on water, it can begin to break. This can result in total destruction of a wood project if this process happens repeatedly. Meanwhile, sunlight can also cause damage to unsealed wood, resulting in unsightly discoloration. Sealing with wood stain and staining will preserve the appearance and structural integrity in the face of these threats. Serving Newaygo, Fremont, and Grant Areas.
