Restoring an exterior wooden area in bad condition
At times, professional painters encounter situations where exterior wooden areas require more than just a fresh coat of paint. In such cases, replacing the boards becomes the only viable solution.
Here’s how you do it
Watch a video to learn more about restoring a wooden area in bad shape. In this step-by-step video guide, we'll show you how easy it is done with Tikkurila products.
1.
First, check which paint has been used before and make sure you have enough for the job.
Then, protect the area with e.g. newspapers/plastic to avoid paint drops. Next up: remove broken boards (if any). If a new board is required, be sure to pre-treat it with Valtti Pohjuste. Then go ahead and add the new board.
Note: If you notice any loose paint in the old boards, scrape it off before proceeding.
2.
Grab a brush and thoroughly clean the wooden surface using Tikkurila Homeenpoisto.
Then, apply a fresh layer of new Ultra Classic paint to the wooden surface. With excellent colour and gloss retention, Ultra Classic makes the surface extra durable. It also repels dirt, making the house look clean and freshly painted.
Finally, remove area protection and the job is done!
