Wood treatment and maintenance
A special wood protection system Flugger EWT (Extreme Weather Tecgnology) is used to treat the wooden parts of the greenhouse, which means that the wood is treated with a 3-layer protection system (oil, primer and topcoat). Wood is a living, organic material that can be damaged by rot, fungi, wind and, especially water, as well as UV radiation from the sun. Wood that is not adequately protected from prolonged exposure to moisture develops harmful microorganisms that cause wood-decomposing decay processes. Thanks to the EWT protection system, greenhouse wood is protected from spoilage. The water-based paints used are environmentally friendly – the manufacturer “Flugger” has obtained 3 ECO certificates (“Environmental Management System ISO 14001”, “Nordic Swan Ecolabel”, “US green Building Council”). The Danish manufacturer Flugger paints and wood protection systems are designed for use in the Scandinavian countries, their quality in the harsh Scandinavian climate has already proven itself. We recommend repainting wooden elements after 15 years or as soon as the top layers of the paint are noticeably separated, repainting is important for maintaining longevity.
