Why paint and renovate woodwork and joinery?

Renovating and painting woodwork and joinery is essential to maintain their quality and appearance.

Here are the main reasons to invest in this type of work.

1. Protection against external aggressions

Woodwork, whether interior or exterior, is constantly

exposed to degradation factors such as:

• Humidity , which promotes mold.

• UV rays , which dull and weaken the wood.

• Wood-eating insects , which attack internal structures.

Localized example:

In Saint-Tropez, a solid wood door exposed to the sun was restored with microporous paint, ensuring optimal protection against UV rays while allowing the material to breathe.

2. Aesthetic improvement

Steps for preparing and painting woodwork and joinery

Painting woodwork requires careful preparation to ensure optimum adhesion and a long-lasting finish.

Here are the steps to follow.

1. Preparation of wooden surfaces

Before painting, it is crucial to properly prepare the surfaces to ensure good adhesion and a uniform finish.

Preparation sub-steps:

1. Cleaning:

Remove dust, grease residue, and dirt with a damp cloth or wood cleaner.

2. Sanding:

Sand the woodwork to remove old layers of paint or varnish and smooth the surface.

3. Dusting:

Use a vacuum cleaner or microfiber cloth to remove wood particles.

4. Repair:

Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable wood filler.

Practical tip:

For exterior woodwork, check that the wood is completely dry before applying paint or primer.

2. Application of a suitable primer

A primer helps seal the pores of the wood, improve paint adhesion and provide additional protection against moisture.

Trick :

Choose a microporous primer for exterior woodwork, to allow the wood to breathe while protecting it from the elements.

3. Choice and application of paint

The choice of paint is crucial to ensure a lasting and aesthetic result.

Here are the common options:

• Acrylic paint:

Low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), ideal for interior woodwork.

• Glycero paint:

Strong and durable, perfect for exterior joinery.

• Stains:

To preserve the natural appearance of the wood while protecting it.

Application methods:

• Brush:

Ideal for details and intricate moldings.

• Roll :

Recommended for large flat surfaces.

• Paint gun:

Provides even coverage, but requires good control.

4. Drying and finishing

Allow the paint to dry completely before applying a second coat or protective varnish.

Finishes play a key role in improving the strength and appearance of woodwork.

Localized example:

In Draguignan, wooden shutters have been restored with satin paint followed by a matt varnish, guaranteeing an elegant and durable finish.

Practical advice for maintaining woodwork and joinery

To preserve your woodwork and avoid frequent work, follow these tips:

1. Regular cleaning

Clean your woodwork with a soft cloth and a suitable product to remove dust and dirt.

2. Annual inspection

A craftsman carefully checks the condition of the woodwork to detect signs of wear.

Check the condition of paints and varnishes at least once a year.

Touch up damaged areas to prevent moisture from seeping in.

3. Reapply protection

For exterior woodwork, apply a coat of stain or varnish every 3 to 5 years to strengthen its resistance.

FAQ: Your questions about painting woodwork and joinery

1. Should I sand woodwork before painting?

Yes, sanding removes residue from old paint layers and improves the adhesion of new paint.

2. What paint should you choose for exterior woodwork?

Cans of exterior wood paint, placed next to brushes and rollers.

Choose a glycerophthalic paint or a microporous stain to protect the wood from bad weather while allowing it to breathe.

3. How many coats of paint should I apply?

It is recommended to apply at least two coats of paint, allowing sufficient drying time between each coat.
