Quale vernice usare per il legno da esterno?

Per esterni consigliamo un ciclo Seawood: Impregnante per protezione in profondità + Flatting come barriera ad acqua e UV. Così preservi venature ed eviti sfogliature precoci.

Qual è il miglior impregnante per legno?

Dipende da uso e stato del supporto. Per interni: Masterwood Impregnante. Per esterni: Seawood Impregnante, abbinato al flatting per massima durata.

Come verniciare il legno per esterni (passaggi)?

Pulizia e carteggiatura, impregnante seguendo vena, carteggiatura fine, finitura (flatting) in 1–2 mani. Controllo annuale delle zone esposte.

Smalto su legno: pennello o spruzzo?

Meglio pennello per controllo, a spruzzo se la scheda lo consente. Sempre opacizzare e usare un fondo compatibile prima dello smalto.

Posso verniciare senza carteggiare?

Solo su supporti sani, puliti e opacizzati con cicli dedicati; per tenuta professionale la carteggiatura leggera è comunque raccomandata.

Come togliere la vernice dal legno?

La via più sicura è la carteggiatura progressiva; sverniciatore solo se necessario. Concludi con fondo/opacizzazione prima della nuova finitura.

Come diluire impregnanti/vernici per legno?

Segui la scheda tecnica: molti prodotti sono pronti all’uso; le percentuali variano per base acqua/solvente, temperatura e umidità.

Quale vernice usare per infissi e persiane?

Infissi interni: Masterwood (Impregnante + Flatting). Persiane/infissi esterni: Seawood (Impregnante + Flatting resistente ad acqua/UV).

How to choose the right product (in 30 seconds)

Where is the item located?
- Interior → Masterwood (Stain/Flatting/Parquet)
- Exterior → Seawood (Stain/Flatting)
Condition of the wood
- Good condition → cleaning, light sanding, and finishing.
- Degraded/absorbent → stain + finish.
- Want a visible wood effect? → prefer stains + flatting.
- Want coverage? → consider suitable wood enamels.
Use and stress
- High traffic/impact (parquet, stairs, tops) → Masterwood Parquet.
- Weathering/UV (shutters, gazebos) → Seawood (stain + flatting).

Quick application guides

Painting wood for EXTERIORS (shutters, frames, furniture)

Assess the substrate: remove crumbly parts, old peeling paint, and dirt.
Sand uniformly (120-180 grit) and remove dust.
Stain (e.g., Seawood Stain): apply by brush following the grain; let dry.
Light intermediate sanding (fine grit).
Finish (e.g., Seawood Flatting): 1-2 coats for a water/UV barrier.
Maintenance: annual check in the most exposed areas.

Wood finishing for INTERIORS (furniture, doors, boiserie)

Cleaning and light matting of the surface.
Masterwood Stain if absorption needs to be uniformed.
Masterwood Flatting for a clear finish; alternatively Masterwood Parquet where superior hardness is required.

Enamel on wood (opaque)

A brush is preferred for control and wettability; spray application is also possible if specified in the data sheet.
Sand and use a compatible primer/sealer.
Apply the suitable wood enamel (Veronese/Astrale lines are suitable) in 1-2 coats.

“Without sanding”: when is it possible?

Only if the substrate is sound, clean, matted and the cycle includes specific primers/adhesion promoters.
For professional and lasting results, light sanding remains the recommended practice.

How to remove varnish from wood

Progressive sanding is the cleanest and most controllable method.
Chemical strippers only if necessary and compatible; finish with sanding and sealer/primer before the new finish.

Dilutions (general indications)

Water-based stains/flatting: usually ready to use or minimal dilution, follow the technical data sheet.
Synthetic enamels: adhere to the recommended thinner and the percentages in the data sheet.
Note: the product technical data sheet always prevails; environmental conditions (T°, RH%) influence film formation and drying.

Errors to avoid

Confusing interior/exterior cycles: performance requirements are different.
Skipping primer/sealer: causes absorption differences and stains.
Painting on a non-matted substrate: reduces adhesion.
Overestimating “without sanding”: it is often just marketing.
Neglecting maintenance in the most exposed areas (drip edges, corners).
