Nearly all timber log cabins need to have a finish on the outside to protect and preserve the wood.
This is a worthwhile investment, and it is advisable to review the options and select the ones that are the most appropriate for a particular structure.
Using a high-quality finish for bespoke log cabins has many advantages and in the long-term can save money on maintenance.
A good quality finish will enhance the appearance of any garden cabin room. If a tint or colour has been added, then it will increase the visual impact further. On the other hand, a clear coating will enhance the natural tones of the wood and help create the rustic-looking retreat many people desire.
The longevity of the finish is usually increased when a better quality product is used. The ingredients present in more luxurious finishes will often help to repel dust and dirt, making the barbeque hut or school cabin easier to clean and maintain. A UV repellent is also a common factor, and one that will prevent sun bleaching and damage over time.
For those who have a passion for the environment, using a high-quality finish on their BBQ hut can minimise the carbon footprint. Lower levels of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) are used, as well as minimal or no formaldehyde.
