How does UV protection prevent discoloration and damage to wood?

Outdoor wood is continuously exposed to the harmful effects of sunlight. UV rays break down the lignin in wood, leading to discoloration and a weakening of the wood’s structure. Without protection, wood loses its natural color, turns gray, and may develop surface damage such as cracks and splinters. Wood that is heavily exposed, such as cladding, decking, and outdoor furniture, is especially vulnerable to this type of damage. UV protection is therefore essential to preserve both the aesthetic and structural qualities of the wood. This not only prevents fading but also significantly extends the wood’s lifespan.

WOCA Exterior Oil contains UV filters that protect the wood’s natural color from sunlight.

WOCA Exterior Oil provides an effective solution for protecting outdoor wood from UV rays. The oil contains specially designed UV filters that prevent sunlight from affecting the wood’s natural color and structure. In addition to offering protection against sunlight, the product enhances the wood grain and creates a water- and dirt-repellent surface. This makes WOCA Exterior Oil ideal for treating wooden surfaces such as decks, outdoor furniture, and facades. For best results, it is recommended to clean the wood first with WOCA Exterior Cleaner and apply the oil in thin layers. Regular maintenance with WOCA Exterior Oil ensures the wood retains its natural beauty and remains protected from the harmful effects of sunlight.
