Wooden facades are the heart of many Finnish homes. They give a building a warm and natural look that blends beautifully with its surroundings. However, wood is a living material that requires regular maintenance to keep it in good condition. One of the most important maintenance measures is a quality facade paint, which not only improves the appearance of your house, but also effectively protects it from environmental stresses.
Why paint your wooden facade in time?
Painting wooden facades is not just an aesthetic choice - it is first and foremost an investment in the longevity of the building. Without a proper paint finish, wood is exposed to moisture, UV radiation and other stresses caused by weather conditions. This can lead to rot damage, mould growth and even structural problems.
The benefits of timely painting:
- Protection from the elements: a high quality paint surface prevents moisture from entering the structure and prevents mould and rot.
- Longevity: properly applied paint can protect a facade for up to 10-15 years.
- Aesthetics: a new paint finish will give a fresh look and increase the value of the property.
How does Pensla paint wooden facades?
At Pensla, we understand that every step of the process is important to achieve a sustainable result. That's why we have divided our contracts into two specialised teams: professionals specialising in the groundwork and painters specialising in the painting itself. This ensures that every stage is carried out with care and professionalism.
Step 1: Groundwork
- We mechanically remove all old, poorly adhered paint.
- We wet-wash surfaces with effective detergents that remove dirt, dust and vegetation.
- If necessary, we will replace damaged panels and prime bare wooden surfaces.
Step 2: Painting
- We always use the most suitable paint or wood preservative for the surface in question.
- Before topcoating, all wood surfaces are primed. The primer penetrates the wood and protects it from moisture, mould and rot, while improving the adhesion of the topcoat.
- A primer is then applied to the primed surfaces. The primer evens out the absorbency of the surface and creates a strong adhesive surface for the topcoat, so that the final result is durable and even.
- Finally, the surfaces are painted throughout with a topcoat. As a rule, we always apply the topcoat using a method that involves spraying the paint and then working it into the wood with a brush.
- The result is a fine, smooth and durable paint finish that will protect your building for a long time.
