NORDIC SUSTAINABILITY WITH MASSIVE POTENTIAL

SAGA WOOD MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

HIGH QUALITY WOOD FROM THE NORTHABOUT SAGA WOODSaga Wood produces and markets thermal treated and linseed oil-impregnated wood for facade, terrace and fence solutions. Saga Wood bases its production on new, innovative and patented technologies and own patent reviews. In production, only FSC- and PEFC-certified raw wood is used and the final products are Nordic Swan Ecolabeled. Saga Wood is the only provider on the market of this type of products.

COMPETENCESSaga Wood has many years of experience in selecting the right raw wood, processing it and advising customers so that the best solutions are achieved. Saga Wood is based on an organization of well-trained employees who have a high level of knowledge about the products and who take pride in providing the best advice to the customers. It is a goal not only to ensure the best qualities for the customers at competitive prices. But also to offer the best possible service from offering, customized solutions when requested, maintenance instructions and flexible deliveries.

QUALITYSaga Woods products have been tested and proven to be in Durability Class 1. Therefore, we say that Saga Wood is best in test and at the best price. It is possible to get cheaper qualities that are not swan-labeled, or possible to get more expensive qualities that are not better in durability and stability. Although Saga Wood’s products undergo industrial processes, the raw material is a natural product, and therefore, small scratches caused by winds may occur, typically around the wood marrow, which does not affect the quality and functionality of the product. It is important when the wood is mounted, that you always put the nice side upwards for the best possible mouting and result.

STAFFSaga Wood’s sales organization is always available, either by telephone, mail or dropping by our office for a personal meeting or personal advice.

UNDERLAY FOR THE TERRACEJoists must lay on a stabil and plane underlay in order to acheive a plane terrace. On top of the ground there must be a pressure distributor (eg a 300 x 300 x 40 mm tile in concrete) as the soil raises and lowers, depending on whether it is summer or winter.

From the pressure distributor tile to the bottom of the joist, use a waterproof material (eg excess joist or decking wood) as a wood blocking-up to raise the terrace to the desired level. Then an adjustable plastic chock is inserted between the wood blocking-up and the joist.

A:

JOISTS AND BLOCKING-UPJoists should lie at a distance of max. 600 mm from the center of one joist to the center of the next joist. 500 mm if you want an extra stable terrace deck. The joists must be supported per max 900 mm, and must be fixed with a screw through joist, plastic chocks and building-up.

When these measurement are informed, it is the standard measurement that does not take into account the number, size, and location of the knots between the support of the joists.

If pressure-impregnated joists are used, they should be treated with a protective oil that prevents the joist from moving. It is recommended to use Saga Oil. The joists must be dry when treated.

With high blocking-up, several screws are used, so that the joist, chock and blocking-up are screwed together into a unit. This ensures that the chocks and blocking-up maintain their height and position.

B:

MOUNTINGThe first board is set up after a string to obtain a straight line throughout the width of the terrace. Visibly twisted 20-30 mm inside the first board, it is recommended to use stainless steel screws. The screw is lowered 1.5-3 mm in the decking board to reduce its visibility.

When the first decking board is attached with the visible screws, lay the next decking board at the desired distance, for example 5 mm. It is advisable to mark both the location and the distance on the next decking boards with the strip mark to ensure proper installation of the decking boards.

END CUTS Remember to check the straight line before attaching the following decking boards.

This is done by means of a string stretched at each end of the terrace, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the decking boards. If the terrace is longer than a decking board length, the decking boards are pushed together.

It is necessary to secure the end cuts with two screws that are screwed between 1.5 and 3 mm into the wood so that they are not visible.

REMEMBER:The decking boards must be cleaned over the end cut, even if the board is used in full length. The end cuts are vulnerable and it is important that they are both pre-treated and the end cuts are sealed with Saga Oil before they are laid.

D:

EDGE BOARDOnce all decking boards are mounted, an edge board can be fitted. The edge board is placed at the same height as the top edge of the terrace boards. The edge board hides clocks, straws etc. in the last decking board and covers all end sections. This gives the terrace a beautiful finish and longer durability.

E:

GOOD ADVICESWhen the terrace is mounted, we recommend giving the terrace a Saga Oil treatment. The Saga Oil gives a sublime finish and a more even glow in the wood.

It is recommended to use Saga impregnated joists or alternatively that the joists are treated with Saga Oil prior to laying.

SAGA WOOD CLEANERAgainst green coatings and bacteria. Can be used on most surfaces to remove green coating, bacteria etc. and gives high protection of the surface. Saga Wood Cleaner must be applied with a watering can or spray and allow to dry afterwards!Remove all loose debris and dirt before treatment. Scrubbing the surface is not necessary. Shall not rinse after. Saga Wood Cleaner is long-acting and after 1-4 days of impact, nature will by helpof rain and wind provide a clean surface.

APPLICATIONSSaga Wood Cleaner is specially developed for Saga Terraces, Saga Facades, Saga Fences, windbreaks, patio furniture, exterior panels, railings etc. Saga Wood Cleaner can also be used on materials such as bricks, stones, tiles, plastic and painted surfaces. Make a test on a small area before starting treatment of the entire surface.

SAGA OILRefined Saga Oil for regular maintenance of Saga Wood and other Saga-treated wood, as well as treatment of cut ends when mounted.

APPLICATIONSClean the wood for dust and dirt. New and treated wood is neutralized with SagaWood Cleaner. Stir before application. Apply the Saga Oil in a very thin layer with a brush on a clean and dry surface. For thick application, drying time will be prolonged and irregularities may occur. Excess oil should be wiped away immediately with a dry cloth (after application, the oil must be pulled quickly into the wood and there must be no blank fields after 15-20 minutes). For normal maintenance use 1 stroke, 2-3 strokes may be necessary if it has been a long time since the last treatment. Drying time at medium temperature 15º is approx. 24 h. The surface must not be loaded until the substrate is completely dry, but rain after the oil has been pulled in does not damage the treatment.

After the thermal treatment, the wood has acheived a very high durability, but it still remains very vulnerable against external influences, and therefore it is always recommended to treat the surface of the wood. Instead of doing this during or after mounting, we will carry out the Saga impregnation process under optimal conditions. Under high vacuum the wood is immersed to 80 degrees warm Saga Oil. Water from the impregnation evaporates and at the same time, the Saga Oil penetrates deeply into the wood cells and seals the surface.

SAGA-OIL is a science The main ingredient of Saga Oil is linseed oil. Since the linseed oil has relatively small molecules, it penetrates extra well into the pores of the base. Linseed oil has been used for hundreds of years to reduce woods ability to absorb moisture and thus become water repellent. A challenge for linseed oil is that it contains both proteins, stearin and paraffin, which is nnourishment for bacteria and fungi and makes the oil liquid during high temperatures.

Therefore, in our Saga oil we have removed both proteins, stearine and paraffin, something we believe gives the wood the best protection one can get. The actual Saga impregnation is performed in a modern impregnation plant. The pressure-impregnated wood undergoes a process in which the Saga Oil penetrates several millimeters into the wood and creates a very effective and sealing membrane that protects the wood from:

Saga Wood is a green, sustainable product based on nature’s own resources.Due to a special production process, Saga Wood has outstanding features.

Without the use of chemicals, an environmentally friendly product is available that is virtually indestructible and requires only minimal maintenance.

THERMAL TREATMENTThe thermal treatment carried out today is further developed in line with the possibilities in modern technology and takes place through a controlled and computerized process. The wood is heated according to a defined temperature curve in which the glycose-containing cellulose (sugars) caramelizes and resin cures and alters structure. With thermal treatment, the movement in the tree is reduced between 80 and 90% and the absorption of moisture is reduced by about 50%, which gives a very stable material.
