How to protect ancient wood from humidity

Ancient wood It has become an essential element in interior and exterior design, bringing a special charm and a touch of elegance to any space. Antique wooden doors, in particular, are appreciated not only for their aesthetic appeal, but also for their durability and uniqueness. We at RATGROUP SRL are proud of our expertise in making antique wooden doors, having over 10 years of experience in the industry, working with renowned clients such as Mercedes Benz Autohaus of Munich and Passau County Hospital.

A crucial aspect of using antique wood is humiditywhich can seriously compromise its integrity. Old wood, although a durable material, is still sensitive to environmental conditions. Excessive moisture can cause warping, cracking, and even structural damage to the wood. Therefore, protecting antique wood from moisture is essential to maintaining its long-term beauty and functionality.

Traditional methods for protecting ancient wood include the use of natural oils and wax, which helps create a moisture barrier. These methods have been used for centuries and continue to be effective. We at RATGROUP SRL use high quality oils, such as those from Wakol, which penetrate deep into the wood and provide excellent protection against humidity.

Another important aspect is usage high quality stickers to seal wood. The UZIN adhesives we use are specially designed to withstand various environmental conditions, ensuring a strong and long-lasting bond. They help maintain the integrity of antique wooden doors by preventing moisture infiltration.

In addition to traditional methods, modern techniques for treating antique wood have evolved significantly. We use specialized Wolf and Janser machines to apply protective treatments that improve the wood’s resistance to humidity. This equipment allows us to obtain precise and uniform results, essential for our residential projects.

Finishes play a vital role in protecting antique wood. Correctly applied paints and oils form a protective barrier that prevents moisture penetration. We at RATGROUP SRL compare the different types of paints and oils available on the market to offer our customers the best solutions. For example, we recently completed a residential project where we used Festool paints, which provided excellent protection and a great aesthetic finish.

Climatic conditions can have a significant impact on old wood. In areas with high humidity it is essential to take additional measures to protect the wood. For example, during the work carried out for a residential complex in Bihor, we implemented appropriate ventilation solutions to reduce humidity inside the buildings, thus ensuring greater durability of the ancient wooden doors.

Ventilation is another important factor in maintaining the healthiness of ancient wood. Spaces with old wood must be well ventilated to prevent moisture buildup. We at RATGROUP SRL advise our customers to install efficient ventilation systems in new houses or new apartments to ensure adequate air circulation.

Regular maintenance of antique wooden doors is essential to prevent moisture damage. We recommend our customers to regularly check the condition of the doors and carry out maintenance treatments at least once a year. This may include cleaning the doors with special products and reapplying protective oils or paints.

Comparing different types of paints and oils is essential to find the optimal solution for each project. For example, we had the opportunity to work with Wurth paints which offer excellent moisture protection and are very durable. This has allowed us to provide antique wooden doors that not only look great, but are also extremely durable.

Case studies from our portfolio demonstrate the effectiveness of our solutions. For example, we made antique wooden doors for a hospital in Passau, where we applied special treatments against humidity. The result was a longer life of the doors, even in high humidity conditions.

Collaboration with specialists in the restoration of ancient wood is another important aspect of our activity. Our team of experts have in-depth knowledge of ancient wood restoration and protection techniques, ensuring each project is carried out to the highest standards.

The advantages deriving from the use of top quality materials in protecting wood are evident.
