At wildwood cabin care, we offer specialized media blasting services designed to meticulously clean and restore the exterior surfaces of your historic log cabin. This process is essential to preparing the logs for restoration, ensuring the removal of decades of grime, paint, and other residues without damaging the underlying wood.
What is Media Blasting?
Media blasting is a technique where fine abrasive materials are propelled at high speeds against a surface to clean and prepare it for restoration. Unlike traditional sandblasting, our media blasting process employs a variety of specialized abrasives tailored to the specific needs of historic log structures, ensuring both effectiveness and preservation of the wood.
- Customized Abrasives We carefully select our abrasives based on the condition and type of wood, ranging from fine glass beads to more gentle materials such as walnut shells and corn cob granules. This tailored approach ensures the thorough removal of contaminants while preserving the integrity of the original wood.
- Environmentally Friendly Our process uses eco-friendly materials that are safe for both the environment and your log cabin. We avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the natural beauty and health of the wood.
- Precision and Care Our technicians are skilled in handling the delicate nature of historic wood. We adjust pressure settings and abrasive materials to clean without causing splintering, erosion, or other damages.
