Rust never stops a car in its tracks. He consumes it one quote at a time. First it’s a bloom on a weld, then a joint that gets stuck, then extraordinary maintenance that wasn’t in the budget. And when the vehicle works outdoors or in an aggressive environment, the calculations run high. The point is…

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…

“What if I do something wrong?” It’s the question that blocks half of the woodwork. With DECORVIV the answer is short: there is little to go wrong. It is ready to use: no dilutions, no dosages to calculate. Open the jar and go. It is applied directly to the surface, without primer. By brush or…

A paint that never flakes. Not because it’s more resistant: because there’s nothing to leaf through. DECORVIV does not create a film over the wood. It is an impregnating agent: it penetrates the fibers and nourishes them from inside, without leaving a dry layer on the surface. The wood remains free to move in heat,…

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. This is why washing is not enough: the…

On Monday we showed you the gray table. This is the same wood, after. The product is DECORVIV, our decorative impregnating paint for wood. It does not cover the surface: it penetrates the fibres, nourishes them and brings out the colour. You can see the result in the photo, and you can feel it by…

Look at the garden table. In June it was honey coloured, today it is grey. It’s not dirty and it’s not old age: it’s the sun. UV rays degrade lignin, the part of wood that gives color and compactness. Then the summer storms arrive, the water enters the dry fibers and the wood dries out,…
