These are key steps that help keep them in good condition for many years, especially since wood is exposed to changing weather conditions, such as rain, snow, UV radiation or moisture. Here's how to effectively protect and maintain outdoor wooden floors, such as terraces or balconies:

• Domestic wood (larch, oak, pine) – Suitable for outdoor use, but requires regular impregnation and proper care to ensure long-term protection.

1. Wood impregnation

Wood used outdoors must be impregnated agents that protect against moisture, mold, insects and UV radiation. It is recommended to use preparations such as oil-based impregnators that penetrate the wood structure, protecting it from the inside, and preparations with a UV filter that prevent the boards from fading and drying out under the influence of the sun.

Types of impregnation:

• Water-based impregnation: penetrate deep into the wood, protecting against moisture and mold. They are ecological and safe for the environment.
• Oil impregnation: they are more durable and protect the wood better from cracking and drying out. They are especially suitable for exotic wood species

2. Cleaning wooden floors

Regular cleaning of outdoor wooden floors is the next step in maintaining them:

• Sweeping and washing: Collect leaves, dust and other debris that may accumulate on the floor. Wash the boards with a mild detergent and water, preferably with a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the wood structure.
• Pressure washer: You can use a pressure washer, but with low pressure so as not to damage the wood surface.
