LuxDecor Lazura

Where to use LuxDecor Lazura

The surface must be smooth, dry (moisture content < 15%), clean, and free of dust and dirt. Old paint or coating residues must be removed, and the surface should then be sanded. The wood must not exhibit signs of blue stain. For full protection against fungus and insects, or if the wood has not been impregnated, a colourless biocidal primer should be applied. Painting should take place at a temperature between 10 °C and 30 °C. Stir the product well before and during application to ensure an even colour effect. Apply the glaze following the grain of the wood and avoid pooling. Two coats are recommended. The second layer can be applied approximately one hour after the first. The colourless version of Lazura glaze can be used to dilute coloured versions. Please note, the colourless version does not provide UV protection if applied as a standalone coat outdoors.

Longevity of LuxDecor Lazura

The longevity of the wood glaze is approximately 5 years, depending on environmental factors and how it is applied. Regular maintenance can help extend the wood's protection and appearance, reducing the frequency of repainting. Routine inspection and applying additional coats as needed is recommended to maintain optimal protection.

How many coats?

To protect the wood and enhance its aesthetics, we recommend applying two coats of glaze. This provides strong colour coverage and a protective layer against weather elements and UV radiation. For a clear finish, consider applying three to four coats to ensure enhanced durability and resistance. These additional coats give better protection against mould and moisture damage while significantly increasing the lifespan of wooden surfaces.

LuxDecor Lazura Colours

We offer this product in clear or transparent colours such as teak, mahogany, or pine. These colour options are carefully chosen to improve the natural appearance of the wood and cater to various aesthetic preferences. The transparent finishes subtly reveal the wood grain, while the pigmented options add rich colour and depth, making it suitable for both modern and traditional interiors or exteriors.

Will the wood grain remain visible?

The visibility of the wood grain is one of the aesthetic benefits of using a glaze due to its transparent finish. When applying the glaze, the natural structure of the wood is accentuated, retaining an authentic and vibrant look. However, it's crucial to understand that the more layers of glaze you apply, the less prominent the wood grain will become. Each additional coat adds a layer that affects transparency, causing the grain to gradually be less noticeable. To highlight the wood grain, it is recommended to use minimal layers and choose a more transparent colour option. This not only emphasises the beauty of the wood but also provides subtle protection without compromising the surface's modern appearance.

How to dilute?

Dilution with water is possible, although the product is ready to use and normally does not require dilution. If you choose to dilute it, ensure that the formula’s protective properties and colour consistency are maintained. Brushes can be cleaned easily afterward with warm water. Ensure thorough cleaning of tools to extend their lifespan and achieve better results in future applications.

What is the coverage per m²?

The coverage of Lazura wood glaze depends greatly on factors such as the type of wood, absorption rate, and the thickness of the applied layer. On average, it covers between 16 and 20 m² per litre, although this may vary depending on the wooden surface's characteristics. For porous or rough wood types, more product may be required for optimal coverage and protection. We recommend conducting a small test application to estimate the required amount more accurately and to avoid surprises. This assessment aids in material planning and budgeting for the project.

What brush to use?

Using the right tools for applying glaze is key to achieving the best results. We recommend a stain brush for an even application. A stain brush ensures that the product is spread uniformly across the wood surface, allowing it to penetrate effectively. This improves both the colour coverage and the protective features. Make sure the brush is clean and free of old paint residues to minimise the risk of unwanted textures or colour changes.

What roller to use?

For larger surfaces, a stain roller can be efficient. It allows for quick and even coverage over extended areas. Choose a roller suited to the wood’s texture to distribute the glaze properly without leaving streaks. Ensure the roller is evenly saturated in the product for uniform results. Always follow the wood grain to maintain its natural look. Repeat if necessary for an optimal finish and protective layer.

Summary

Lazura wood glaze provides excellent protection and aesthetic enhancement for wooden surfaces, with a typical lifespan of around 5 years. It is available in both clear and transparent tinted options such as teak, mahogany, and pine to suit varied design preferences. For best results, two coats are recommended, while three or four coats enhance durability for clear finishes. Selecting the right tools, such as a stain brush or stain roller, ensures an even application and helps preserve the natural wood grain. Although ready to use, the glaze can also be diluted for specific applications and is easy to clean with warm water after use. These attributes make Lazura a versatile option for functional and decorative wood treatments.
