Larch graying over time
Siberian larch, like other types of wood, turns gray outdoors.
Moisture causes the most graying, and UV rays less so. Wood on a building can start to turn gray after just a few days, or after a few months. It depends on the location of the building, the side of the sky, and above all on the humidity at that micro-location. If the wood is exposed to water (rain, snow, fog...), then graying cannot be prevented, but it can be somewhat slowed down with suitable coatings.
Wood that is not exposed to direct contact with water, such as eaves, ceilings, etc., can retain its original tone for longer, but there is no guarantee that it will not turn gray over the years.
For this purpose, we use oils that contain a UV factor. In the photographs, the buildings with wood are a few years old and are not protected with oils. The wood gradually takes on a grayish tone, depending on exposure to sunlight. Over time, all wood will acquire the same tone.
