A weekend in September is worth three in November. At least for your wood. The right time to protect doors, frames, beams and furniture is now, before the rains: dry wood, mild temperatures, fast drying. With DECORVIV the job is simple: ready to use, it can be applied directly to the surface, by brush or…

August ends today. Unfortunately, the holidays are over for you, the easy part is over for your wood. Doors, frames, beams and furniture spent three months under sun and storms. The fiber is dry, the color is tired. And now comes the worst season: rain, stagnating humidity, temperature changes. Dry wood in summer is a…

Protecting wood does not mean giving up color. DECORVIV is a decorative impregnator: while it nourishes and defends the fibre, it colors it. And since it doesn’t create a film, the dye doesn’t cover the wood: it passes through it, and the grain remains alive and visible. You choose the shades from the Waterwood color…

For once, there is only one technical advice: turn everything off and go enjoy the sun. The table in the garden is ready, the pergola provides its shade, the shutters keep the heat out. The wood has worked all year for this moment: now it’s your turn. Happy August from all of us at VivColor.…

Every year the same story: stripping, sanding, repainting. And the next year the paint peels off again. If you recognize yourself, the problem is not your manual skills. It’s the type of product. Film-forming paints create a film over the wood. But outdoor wood moves: it expands with the heat, shrinks with the cold. The…

Dark stains on the bench, black dots on the pergola. Everyone thinks about dirt. It’s almost always mold. In summer, outdoor wood experiences a perfect cycle for fungi and bacteria: storm, humidity in the fiber, then heat. The spores take root deep down, not on the surface.
