Wood Color
Because wood covers more and more cladding or decks, because color is no longer the only prerogative of shutters or doors, it was necessary to develop technical protection that allows this revolution in color guaranteeing both decoration and durability.
Understanding wood protection: When choosing the product, the question often arises as to how long the protection will last. Indeed, not returning too quickly to maintenance is necessarily an important argument. Among the different protection options available to wood: oils, stains or saturators, Durieu often recommends saturators whose main quality is their excellent impregnation which allows the wood to be nourished in the mass without leaving a film on the surface. The stains can last longer but the maintenance will be more complicated and the risk of chipping omnipresent because of the film. A non-film-forming finish such as a saturator limits the risk of flaking and allows simple maintenance. Durieu also recommends choosing more tinted saturators when it comes to protecting wood in areas with strong sunlight because the presence of pigments reinforces protection over time.
A solution like no other: Based on these observations, the Owatrol research teams have been able to create a hybrid product, half saturator, half stain, which combines the best of both solutions. BOIS COLOR impregnates the wood deeply to nourish it from the inside and leave a flexible opaque color film on the surface with incomparable longevity.
Bois Color: impregnate, protect and last in all situations
To impregnate, to permeate : benefiting from the expertise of Owatrol, BOIS COLOR contains in its composition very high quality alkyd resins which give it excellent qualities of penetration essential to ensure real protection to the support. Indeed, as for a saturator, the product's ability to impregnate is the assurance of protecting the wood in the mass: it is nourished from the inside and can then last a long time outside.
Protect : BOIS COLOR leaves a flexible color film on the surface which protects and decorates. The finish is one with the support and the film conforms to the deformations of the wood due to hygrometric variations, thus ensuring the longevity of the work.
Last: Technical prowess - a film-forming product that contributes to the longevity of the support.
Second skin effect: all the technical success lies in the flexibility of the film. By perfectly marrying the surface of the wood, BOIS COLOR follows the dimensional variations of the material, thus preventing the film from cracking. The risk of chipping is therefore limited and the support has a truly durable longevity. It is nourished and protected from within and guaranteed to resist climatic aggressions thanks to the flexibility of its film.
For all climates: BOIS COLOR is a real solution for mountain or very sunny areas and or by the sea where temperatures vary a lot during the day.
UV resistance: the great stability of the BOIS COLOR pigments offers excellent UV resistance, and the guarantee that the colors will not fade after a few months in bad weather.
In all situations : from the ground to the roof! The quality of the film also allows the terraces to resist abrasion thanks to its technology combining flexibility and solidity.
Also :
Universal: BOIS COLOR is compatible with all species, from the softest to the hardest, thanks to its exceptional penetrating power.
Guaranteed longevity: the excellence of its behavior is not a legend and BOIS COLOR is guaranteed for 15 years in vertical application and 5 years in horizontal application against the risk of flaking, which makes it a designated product when you want to protect a support drink without coming back too soon.
A dynamic palette with 13 shades to make each work unique.
