Wood is a fundamental construction element, but precisely because of its vegetable origin it is very sensitive to humidity. In addition, its polarity makes it akin to water, as well as water-based varnishes and glues.
The hidrofugadas woods are those that improve their behavior against humidity, a perfect solution for exterior constructions in areas with heavy rainfall. The etymological origin of the term 'water-repellent wood' comes from 'hydro' which in Greek means classical water care. Therefore, it could be translated as 'wood that makes water run away'. In any case, keep in mind that there is no single way to protect wood from water; It is not the same water repellent material as waterproofing.

WATERPROOF
What is the difference between waterproof and waterproof?
​
Waterproof materials form a film that prevents water from seeping in, while the waterproof has a component that is introduced into the pores preventing water from entering
​
Waterproof paint is a chemical compound formed by acrylic or synthetic resins of great elasticity and high waterproofing power. It is mainly used to prevent water seepage into the wood.
​
This treatment is colorless and does not alter the appearance or condition of the surface. It simply acts as a water repellent and prevents it from penetrating through the surface and damaging the structure of the wood in a construction
​
Water-repellent paints are also very breathable. This allows them to properly oxygenate the construction materials and prevent air condensation inside the home. And, for this reason, they are one of the most used options to treat humidity problems
