Cryogenics

In the context of working with reclaimed wood and old stone, it is critical to ensure effective cleaning that preserves the integrity and appeal of the material. Some of the most advanced methods for achieving this include sandblasting and cryogenic treatment. Sandblasting is a cleaning technique that removes impurities such as rust, paint, and scale without damaging the surface of the antique wood or stone. This process uses an appropriate abrasive, such as quartz, almandite, or even more environmentally friendly materials such as walnut grit or corn cob, ensuring optimal results for all types of surfaces. Cryogenics represents an innovative alternative that uses dry ice to gently and effectively clean. This method is particularly suitable for wood, as it respects its natural structure, preventing any alteration or damage. In addition, dry ice sublimates, leaving the material completely dry and residue-free.
