1 What kind of breed to choose?
Different breeds differ not only by strength, but also by shade. What kind of variety it is easier to work, and what is worth to bypass?
- One of the most expensive breeds is oak. He is durable, he has an attractive texture and a pleasant color.
- Popular material for kitchen headcards, which is not inferior to the oak on the characteristics - pine. It is distinguished by a brighter texture.
- In addition to pine, another conifer breed is used for the manufacture of kitchen facades - larch. The headset from this wood is perfectly withstanding the difficult conditions of the kitchen: elevated temperature and high humidity.
- It is more difficult to work with a fir board, but the objects of the situation are more durable from it than, for example, from pine. In addition to this, spruce boards have good moisture resistance.
2 What are the shades of wood?
All wood breeds can be divided into three colors: dark, light and intermediate.
Dark shades include walnut, wenge, mahogany, ebony. These saturated colors look good in classic interiors, whose owners want to emphasize their respectability.
Light shades are birch, ash, pine, beech. Recently, due to the growth of the popularity of the Scandinavian style in the interior, bright furniture became particularly relevant. Such facades are chosen not only for kitchen headset, but also for cabinets or racks in the living room, office, bedroom wardrobes.
It is customary to attract cherry, alder and oak to intermediate tones. It is these tones that create a cozy pastel gamut in the interior.
3 How to properly care for furniture made of wood?
- In order for the objects of the decor from wood last longer, it is important to maintain a microclimate indoors: the material does not like high humidity, too dry air, too bright sun or high temperature. Optimal parameters: Humidity - about 70-75%, and air temperature - from 15 to 23 ° C. To create comfortable conditions, more often ventilate the room in the summer, and also do not forget about good heating in winter.
- By the way, about heating - you should not put a wardrobe next to the battery or heater. Too high temperature and dry air can be caused by the appearance of cracks and deformation of the product. Do not put furniture under the direct sun rays, facades can burn or change the color to a less attractive.
- Furniture needs to be kept clean. Dust is better to smile with a dry cloth, and spilled liquid - to quickly wipe. Have you conceived a general cleaning with washing facades? Use gentle chemistry and no abrasives, otherwise you can damage the "live" surface. Optimally wash the furniture with a weak soap solution. Avoid acetone, alcohol, gasoline, they corrupt the tree.
4 What do you pay attention to when choosing?
Obviously, buying only from a proven seller who provides a guarantee. And in the case of wooden objects, this is doubly important, because unscrupulous manufacturers are often used in the production of a wet or fungus-covered board. About durability There are no talk here. Wood - very sensitive material, and errors in processing can even happen in a large enterprise, not to mention handicraft production. The most frequent "marriage" - in a short time begins to go to the lacquer, or the furniture begins to "dance": looking by deforming, changing his shape.
