Restoration

We undertake the restoration of an object regardless of how damaged it is. In restoration we use traditional restoration procedures.

What do we gain with restoration?

A correctly carried out restoration procedure prolongs the lifespan of an object or building. It gives it back the usability and attraction with irreplaceable patina (patina is an antique look which arises with the use of climatic factors over a longer period of time and their effects), which tells the story of the object’s life. The value of the object increases.
Restored reproduction furniture and other old wooden equipment give your home soul and homeliness you and your visitors need to feel good every day.

Restoration procedure

Each restoration procedure is adapted to the actual condition of the object. But during a restoration procedure we mainly do the following:

  • documentation
  • scientific research
  • conditioning
  • cleaning
  • protection against insects and fungi
  • construction repairs with static restoration and building new parts
  • puttying
  • surface treatment (retouching, oiling, waxing, shellac polish)
  • restoration of furniture framework
  • assembling and installation of furniture framework
  • instructions for handling the object.

Why wood deteriorates?

As most materials wood is also subject to degradation. Changing climatic conditions and wood pests, such as insects, putridity and wood fungi, are the most dangerous for wood deterioration. Wood damage can be caused by a single factor or a combination of many. Damage caused by the above stated pests is mainly permanent. It is therefore very important that you protect the object attacked by wood pests from further deterioration as soon as possible.

Environmentally friendly restoration.

In restoration we strive for the use of environmentally friendly materials. You will therefore see a lot of natural materials in our workshop, such as:

SHELLAC POLISH

(ruby, orange, lemon, colourless)

NATURAL RESINS

(damar, copal, Gum arabic, mastic)

WAXES

(beeswax, carnauba, microcrystalline wax)

OILS

(linseed, straw, paraffin, tung, walnut)

TURPENTINE,
VENICE TURPENTINE

GLUE

(bone, skin, rabbit, fish)

CASEIN

 

NATURAL PIGMENTS

Restoration of wooden constructions

Restoration and static restoration of wooden constructions.

Wood is an extremely important architectural element which was very popular in construction of old buildings. Restoration enables us to keep the majority of wooden constructions. Restored wooden constructions give old buildings a unique time stamp which cannot be replaced with new wood or other, newer materials.

Restoration enables us static arrangement of clapped-out elements so that they can still perform their function for years to come.

Static restoration of wooden constructions

With the most demanding static restorations we use epoxy and polyester resin in combination with carbon fibre, steel, glass fibre and sticks or bands.

Restoration of fixtures

Entrance doors, interior doors, partition walls, displays and windows.

Preservation of outdoor fixtures is extremely important for nice and harmonious outlook of old houses. No new fixture can completely replace the original old furniture.

The most common reason for replacing old fixtures with new ones is excessive heat loss. We can significantly decrease heat loss and ensure better safety and fire resistance by making small changes to the fixtures.

Your visitors cannot come to your house without going through your entrance door. Let your entrance door give them a nice message about you.

Razvili smo postopek

S pomočjo vodilnih strokovnjakov smo razvili sistem za vakuumsko impregniranje-utrjevanje lesenih predmetov. Z vakuumskim impregniranjem se zaščiti in utrdi slab les. Postopek omogoča uporabo različnih utrjevalcev in zagotavlja impregnacijo po celotni debelini..

Les ima veliko škodljivcev

Kot naravni material je les zelo podvržen degradaciji, še posebno, ko pridejo v stik z lesom insektni in fungicidni škodljivci. V lesu pride do poškodb, ki bistveno spremenijo osnovne lastnosti lesa. Poškodbe so tudi tako hude, da resno ogrozijo nadaljni obstoj predmeta.

Ročno impregniranje

Za ohranitev najhuje poškodovanih elementov so restavratorji pričeli z ročnim utrjevanjem slabega lesa s pomočjo lepil in naravnih ter umetnih smol. Z ročnim načinom utrjevanja se je lahko uspešno pri elementih manjšega volumna, ker utrjevalec pri ročnem nanašanju ne prodre po celotni masi predmeta.

Pri ročnem impregniranju-utrjevanju večjih predmetov se utrdi zgolj zunanji sloj medtem ko notranjosti ne utrdijo.

Vakumsko impregniranje

nam da odlične rezultate, prav na najbolj poškodovanem lesu so najboljši rezultati. Zanimiv je podatek da je imel kos lesa pred impregniranjem težo 1kg, takoj po impregniranju pa je imel težo 2,38kg. Po klimatizaciji in zorenju je teža predmeta 1,37kg. Teža se je povečala na račun impregnanta s katerim se je utrdilo predmet.
