description This paper deals with the influence of the type of transparent surface finish on the change of colour of the surfaces of native wood, and thermally treated wood, with saturated water vapour. In the experiment, alder, European beech, Paper birch, and Norway maple wood were thermally treated at a temperature of 135 °C under saturated water vapour for six hours. Three various types of surface finishes (acrylic-polyurethane, polyacrylic and aldehyde resin, and alkyd resin) were applied onto the wood surfaces. The colours of the surfaces in the system, CIE <i>L*a*b*</i> (lightness, coordinates <i>a*</i> and <i>b*</i>, chroma and hue angle), were measured during finishing and natural ageing behind glass windows in an interior, over a period of 60 days. The results show that the changes in the yellowness index, and the total colour differences after the application of individual surface finishes to wood species, changed because of sunlight exposure. Moreover, it is clear that different wood finishes behaved differently on all of the wood species. An analysis is presented in this paper.
