Is Cuprinol reducing its impact on the environment - Duluxtrade.ie

<strong>Is</strong> <strong>Cuprinol</strong> <strong>reducing</strong> <strong>its</strong> <strong>impact</strong> on the environment?
Yes. And we are committed to continuing to do so.
We conduct all of our operations with respect for the environment. We are
continually working hard to reduce the <strong>impact</strong> of what we do by studying the
environmental <strong>impact</strong> of everything – from the source of our raw materials,
how our products are made, all the way to what happens to the packaging
once the product has been used.
The protection of wood is of major importance to the environment.
It ensures that wood is used to <strong>its</strong> full potential and will last as long as it can
before requiring replacement. Our products will not only make garden wood
look <strong>its</strong> best but make it last longer too, therefore <strong>reducing</strong> the demand for
trees to be cut down.
‘Step Towards Greener’ explains our philosophy - in order to
maintain the high quality of products we can’t change everything
overnight, but we are taking bold strides in the right direction.

contained in this guide should not be relied on as such. The appearance of the actual colour can be affected by the substrate and the texture of the
surface. Wherever colour testers are available, please use them on the actual surface to which the product is to be applied before undertaking the
application. This will give you a stronger indication of the appearance of the actual colour. If a colour tester is not available, then try the product
on a small, inconspicuous area of the surface before undertaking the full application.

Garden Furniture
A Glossary of useful terms
Garden Furniture - Hardwood
Garden furniture oils penetrate into the wood and replace the natural oils
lost through weathering. They’re ideal for use on new or newly-restored furniture
as they will keep the wood nourished and protect it from cracking or splitting.
garden furniture
Retain the natural beauty of your hardwood garden chairs, tables and benches with an easy
to apply <strong>Cuprinol</strong> Teak Oil product. They weatherproof and protect your hardwood garden
furntiture, to keep it looking great and lasting for years.
Added Waxes
Substances added to the product to provide water
shedding properties. They help to limit water ingress
into the wood and so help to protect it from water
damage.
Stain
Stains usually give a semi-transparent colour finish to
wood that allows the grain and texture of the wood
to come through. They protect it against the weather
whilst still allowing the wood to breathe, which is
important as it ensures that any moisture that enters
the wood can escape and doesn’t damage the wood
from the inside.
Oil
Oil products in garden woodcare are formulated
using oils from natural and sustainable materials such
as linseed, wood oil, etc. They tend to be used on
hardwood garden furniture or decking to provide a
matt, enhancing and natural finish. Oils penetrate into
the wood to nourish it and replace the natural oils lost
through weathering. As they don’t form a film on top
of the wood they tend to look more natural than stains.
Softwood
Softwood is derived from evergreen, relatively fast
growing conifers predominating in cooler climates.
Softwoods form the main building timbers in Europe,
North America and New Zealand. Generally, softwoods
are light weight and more prone to cracking, splitting
and attack by wood boring insects and wood rotting
fungi than hardwoods. Examples are pine, spruce,
hemlock, western red cedar and douglas fir.
hardwood
Hardwood is derived from trees that predominate in
tropical climates. Such trees are slower growing than
conifers, giving wood that is denser and more resistant
to splitting and cracking. Many species are naturally
durable (resistant to rot and insect attack).
European examples are oak, walnut, ash, beach and
chestnut while tropical examples are mahogany, teak,
iroko, meranti and meranti.
Preserver
Preservers contain active ingredients that protect the
wood from either insect attack, fungal attack (rot) or
both. They often come in colours, which makes them
a superior alternative to stains due to their additional
protective properties.
Rough sawn Wood
Rough sawn wood is left as it is after the wood trunk
has been sawn into planks. It tends to be used for
fencing and sheds. All <strong>Cuprinol</strong> shed and fence products
have been specifically formulated for use on roughsawn
garden timbers.
Smooth planed Wood
Smooth planed wood is planed after the trunk of the
tree has been sawn into planks. It is usually used for
joinery and furniture but also summerhouses, gazebos
and higher quality sheds and fences.
Bare Wood
Wood in <strong>its</strong> natural state and has no surface finish such
as paint, varnish or stain.
Deep Penetrating
Normally refers to a system designed to carry active
ingredients into the wood (wood preserver) to lengthen
protection from insects and rot. Deep penetrating is also
used in relation to natural oils which provide longerlasting
nourishment to the wood or when referring
to waxes that help maintain water repellency longer.
