Today, wood is becoming an increasingly popular building material. Its advantages are considered relatively low price, prevalence and environmental friendliness. In addition, interior details made of wood contribute to maintaining optimal temperature and humidity.
Wood products look quite presentable and fit well into any interior. However, when using wood items, certain problems may arise that affect the life of the wood. One of the effective and modern methods of dealing with the wear and aging of wooden products is scuba diving for wood.

The main problems that arise when working with wood and its long-term operation:
- The color of wood blanks may not fit into the overall style of the interior. Accordingly, with the help of aqualak it is possible to make the color scheme of a wooden product more suitable. Today, domestic and foreign manufacturers offer a large selection of shades of this paint composition, from which everyone can choose the most suitable option.
- Darkening of the color of the tree is observed during prolonged use. This is a fairly common phenomenon, which depends on many factors. In particular, wooden products can darken with sharp fluctuations in humidity and temperature, poor insulation of walls and other features of a particular room. In addition, its grade and proper processing also affect the darkening of wood. Unfortunately, most wood blanks are produced without any preparatory treatment and application of protective compounds. In this regard, you will need to independently take measures to protect the wood cover, one of which is the use of aqualak for wood.
Features
Today, scuba diving for wooden items is one of the most effective methods to increase their useful life. This composition compares favorably with other paint coatings for wood, actively represented on the domestic market. Scuba is a specially designed varnish that can be used to paint various wood products. This paintwork is used for painting:
- lining;
- wooden blocks;
- boards;
- skirting boards and the rest of moldings.
In many ways, it surpasses other similar analogues, such as parquet varnishes, stains and zapon varnishes. This composition contains acrylic and has a water base, so it does not emit almost any odors. This compares it favorably with other varnishes, which, as a rule, emit harsh toxic odors.All this makes Aqualak for wood ideal for indoor use.
The advantages of acrylic scuba diving for wood:
- high vapor permeability, due to which sufficient gas exchange of wooden products is ensured, which significantly increases their service life;
- preservation of the texture of the processed surface;
- the ability to change the shades of objects depending on the overall color scheme of the interior;

- high profitability due to low paint consumption per 1 m2 of area;
- ease of application;
- wide color gamut, allowing you to choose the color of varnish to the interior of your room;
- absence of unpleasant odors both during operation and after hardening;
- fire safety, which is explained by the incombustibility of the material and resistance to high temperatures;

Disadvantages of scuba gear:
- the likelihood of sagging during coating at very low humidity;
- inappropriateness of use for coating wood with a beautiful texture, since the product is applied only to a previously primed surface.
It is best to use acrylic scuba diving in those conditions when it is necessary to paint large wooden surfaces. This paintwork material is very economical, thanks to which one can is enough for you to cover a large area.
