Maintaining exterior woodwork: keeping it beautiful for years

With the right care your exterior woodwork stays beautiful for years.

Keeping your exterior woodwork beautiful

Wooden window frames, doors and other exterior woodwork give your home character, but wood needs care to stay beautiful. In this article you will read how to keep your woodwork in top condition for years.

Why maintenance matters

Wood reacts to sun, rain and temperature. Without protection it can discolour, crack or eventually rot. With good maintenance you avoid costly repairs and your woodwork lasts for decades.

How to keep your woodwork beautiful

  • Clean the wood yearly with water and a soft brush
  • Re-treat the wood every two to three years with stain or varnish
  • Regularly check for cracks, loose parts and wood rot
  • Keep the drainage and gutters free of leaves

Maintain or renew?

For surface wear, cleaning and re-treating is enough. In case of wood rot or structural damage, targeted repair or replacement is often the smarter choice. We are happy to assess it for you without obligation.
