15 best wood impregnations

Wood is a popular building material that is widely used in Russia. To increase the life of the wood, it must be carefully looked after. Special impregnations help protect wooden structures from negative atmospheric influences, rotting, fungus, mold and insects. In addition, some compounds reduce the flammability of the material, making it fireproof. In the domestic market are products of different manufacturers, each of them praises its antiseptic. The advice of our experts will not make a mistake when choosing the composition.

How to choose a wood impregnation

1. The foundation. Today in stores there are several types of impregnation. The most versatile specialists consider water-based antiseptics. They are applied in different ways (brush, spray gun, roller), providing protection from fire, moisture, sun and biodegradation. Acrylic compositions differ in low price, good water-repellent properties, environmental friendliness. But to work with such impregnation at a negative temperature is impossible. Organic solvent-based antiseptics protect wood well against damaging factors, but they pose a danger to humans during application.
2. Purpose The use of impregnation can be caused by several reasons. Antiseptic properties prevent the development of microorganisms. Such impregnations are needed when finishing baths and saunas. The introduction of flame retardants to the drug prevents burning processes. This quality is demanded when processing boiler rooms. Water-repellent and frost-resistant qualities have external impregnation. In addition, an important element of the formulation is UV filters that protect the wood from burning out. A set of weather-resistant qualities will be needed when making outdoor bases. To emphasize the natural beauty of wood, decorative impregnation is required. It will make the inner space especially beautiful.
3. Consumption. When choosing the impregnation, many users pay attention to the price, forgetting about the expense. Most often it is indicated by the manufacturer, based on ideal conditions. Only in practice is it possible to determine the actual consumption. If a good protection appears after applying 1-2 layers, then the cost of finishing will be lower than with a multi-layer impregnation of wood with cheap composition.
4. Environmental friendliness. When an antiseptic is chosen for interior work, the environmental friendliness of the product will be a determining factor in the purchase. This is especially true when finishing bedrooms and children's rooms. In this case, water-based drugs will be the safest.

We have included in our review of the 15 best wood impregnations. All of them are sold in Russian stores and have positive feedback from experts and consumers.
