| Tikkurila launches method of protecting wood surfaces Finnish paints firm Tikkurila develops its operations continuously to be able to offer innovative and environmentally friendly products and services to different customer groups and markets. The Tikkurila ProHouse method, which is being launched at the FinnBuild 2010 Fair, is an answer to the wishes of the building industry, sawmill industry and end users of wooden structures. The ProHouse method utilizes waterborne Ultra products based on the latest technology in the paint industry. The core of the method comprises treatment with Ultra Pro, which gives protection to wooden surfaces in an industrial painting process whereby two layers of top coat are applied on exterior wooden panels and boards without a separate primer. Depending on the painting system used, a maintenance interval of 10 or 15 years can be achieved. For wood treated with the ProHouse method, Tikkurila promises the best quality and weather resistance on the market. As many as three work stages previosly done on the construction site can be replaced by using the ProHouse method: priming, primer coat and top coat. This will mean savings in working costs and also speed up both the planning and building processes. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
