Difference between covering products and glazes

Pigmentation and layer thickness play a key role in the life of coatings. As a general rule , the thinner the coating, the faster the coating degrades and the more regular the maintenance intervals will be .

Outdoors, taking into account the thermal load and stresses on the surfaces , it is recommended to use light to medium-light colors . In the sun, dark surfaces can reach a temperature of 80 ° C. On very resinous woods, this type of temperature can cause resin flows which alter the adhesion of the coating or the appearance of the surface. As high temperatures cause more drying, they can also cause cracking.

COVERING COATING

Layer thickness 60 μm - 100 μm
Form a movie
Very good protection against humidity
Very slow weathering
Very good UV resistance
Scaling due to possible infiltration
Increased renovation work
Long renovation cycle

GLAZE COATING

Layer thickness 30 μm - 80 μm
U shapen movie
Good moisture protection
Very slow weathering
Good UV resistance
Scaling due to possible infiltration
Increased renovation work
Long renovation cycle

IMPREGNATION GLAZE

Does not (practically) form a film
Poor moisture protection
Weathering caused rapid and uniform weathering
Low UV resistance
No chipping
Weak renovation work
Short renovation cycles
