Maintenance of an exotic wood terrace


Maintenance of an exotic wood deck is essential to ensure its long-term durability and beauty. Choosing exotic wood for terraces is not only an aesthetic option, but also a practical one, given its superior characteristics. Exotic wood, thanks to its natural density and resistance, offers an excellent solution for outdoor spaces, being able to withstand different weather conditions and daily wear and tear.

One of the biggest advantages of exotic wood compared to other types of wood is its durability. Unlike regular wood, which can be prone to rot and damage, exotic woods like teak or ipe have natural resistance to water and insects. This makes it ideal for use in residential projectssuch as terraces in residential complexes or residential complexes. Furthermore, exotic wood has a special aesthetic, with rich shades and unique textures, which can transform any outdoor space into a pleasant place to relax.

Among the most recommended types of exotic wood for terraces are: technician, ipe, cumaru AND jatoba. These species are known for their durability and ability to withstand the elements. For example, in a recent project carried out by RATGROUP SRL for a residential complex in Bihor, we used teak wood to create a terrace that not only improved the aesthetic appearance of the house, but also ensured long-term durability.

The process of installing an exotic wood deck requires attention to detail and expertise. Our team of experts uses professional equipment such as sanders Columbus and specialized brand hardware Wolf AND Janserto ensure flawless execution. Each wooden board is precisely cut and the assembly takes place with the help of high-quality adhesives, such as LET IT GO AND Wakolto ensure optimal adhesion.

Maintenance of exotic wood terraces is essential to preserve their appearance and functionality. Maintenance techniques include regular cleaning with wood-specific products, such as cleaning solutions Gerfloor. It is important to avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the surface of the wood. In addition, periodic application of a special exotic wood oil or varnish helps protect it from moisture and UV rays.

Recommended cleaning and maintenance products include oil-based solutions that penetrate the structure of the wood, providing additional protection. For example, using teak oil can help maintain the natural color of the wood and prevent it from drying out. It is essential to apply these products regularly, especially after long periods of exposure to the sun or rain.

Protecting exotic wood from the elements is another important aspect of maintenance. This may include installing roofs or pergolas to provide shade and protection from rain. Furthermore, it is advisable to avoid the accumulation of water on the surface of the terrace, as this could lead to damage to the wood over time. In a recent project for a hospital in Passau, we implemented drainage solutions that helped prevent water accumulation on the exotic hardwood terrace.

Insect damage to wood is a common problem. It is important to apply preventive treatments with insecticides specifically designed for exotic wood. These products help protect terraces from attacks by termites or other harmful insects. Additionally, periodically monitoring the condition of the wood can help identify any problems early.

Application of a protective layer it is essential to maintain the aesthetic appearance of exotic wood terraces. A layer of oil or varnish not only protects the wood, but also gives it a beautiful shine. It is recommended to reapply this layer every year or every two years, depending on exposure to weathering.

When it comes to costs, it is important to compare prices between exotic wood and WPC (wood-plastic composite). While exotic wood may have a higher initial cost, its long-term durability makes it a better investment. WPC, on the other hand, offers the benefit of low maintenance and is available in a variety of colors and textures. Within RATGROUP SRL we have created projects with both exotic woods and WPC, each with its specific advantages.

The benefits of using WPC for decking include water and insect resistance, as well as minimal maintenance required. This material will not crack or require frequent repainting, making it ideal for customers who want a practical solution. However, from an aesthetic point of view, many customers prefer the natural look of exotic wood.

The aesthetics and durability of exotic wood and WPC decking are important factors when choosing materials for residential projects. Exotic wood decking offers a warm, natural look, while WPC can mimic the look of wood without its drawbacks. We at RATGROUP SRL take pride in creating residential projects that combine these two materials to meet the needs of our customers.

The climate impact on the maintenance of wooden roofs is another important aspect to consider. Extreme weather conditions can compromise the durability of wood and in these cases regular maintenance becomes essential. For example, during hot summers or harsh winters, it is important to pay more attention to the condition of the terraces.
