While you are
confused among what type of material should be used to give the final touch to
wooden materials at home you must consider the best suitability for every
specific furniture. When you are talking about looks it is totally subjective
and in most cases wood sealer
and varnish paints are the best choices. The physical structure of the wood
will let you understand how it behaves during different seasons of the year.
Its behavior means the way the wood will expand or contract from time to time.
Microscopic
cells are filled in every grain of the wood and it is vital for the trees
growth. In normal condition the trunk remains usually moist and you can even
feel it by touching a tree trunk. If you see a freshly cut tree that died not
long back you will see patches of watermark at the area cut. So it is moisture
that helped the cells to make the plant grow but with its death no more it gets
the moisture and dries up. However, when it again comes in contact with water
it will grow and as it will dry it will go back to its original size. This is
why; you must be experiencing a hard time in closing certain door or window
during monsoon that you could have easily closed during winter or summer. These
factors will control your choice to buy
paint for your wooden furniture, doors, windows, etc.
Varnish is oil
and resin consisting wood covering that might be applied to furniture, door or
window. This is a non-permeable coating on the surface of the wood. You will
see it is protecting the wood from outside while the interior of the wood
remains as it is. However, very little moisture may enter through the varnish
due to the general expanding and contracting of the wood. When the wood changes
a bit in size its upper layer gets cracked and through it enters moisture in
some amount.
Before you buy
paint for your wooden materials consider the qualities of sealers. These are
also oily and it can itself go into the wood to provide protection from inside.
Since it penetrates in, two to three coating is required to give full
protection. Thus, wood sealer is
preferable to varnish when you are considering wood structures that stand
against rain and sun. It is judicious to even consider the advices of your
carpenter while choosing the paint to cover wood.
