Filling wood with EAZYFIX®

If you discover dry rot in your window frames, you can solve the problem easily by repairing the damage. In 95% of cases, replacement is not necessary at all! The big advantage of this is that repairing wood is much cheaper than replacing it. In this blog, we explain how the filling the wood works.

 

Signs of dry rot

Dry rot is caused by a fungus in the wood that develops and grows in humid environments. You can identify dry rot  by the soft spots in the wood. If you can make a dent in those  spots with a screwdriver and  it immediately springs back, it is a sign of dry rot. Dry rot in unpainted wood is easily recognisable by the dark spots in the wood, whereas in painted wood you can tell by the cracks in the painting.

 

Repair the damage caused by dry rot

If you decide to repair your wooden frames yourself, it is important that you remove all the dry rot from the frame first. The holes created when you remove the dry rot must first be reinforced with our Premium Wood Hardener which will help our Premium Wood Filler adhere better to the wood.

 

Once you have applied the Premium Wood Hardener, you can fill the holes in the wood with Premium Wood Filler. Filling the holes with Premium Wood Filler is best done with EAZYFIX® Repair Spatulas.

Once Premium Wood Filler has completely dried, it can be sanded down to remove any unevenness between the existing frame and the repaired part of the frame. After this, you can paint your window or door frame and you can enjoy your repaired window frames for many years to come!
