   #   Flat and profile sanders

   #   We can prepare and factory coat just about any timber profile or shape

 

We use only the finest products from major brand name coating manufacturers such as Sikkens, Mirotone, Wattyl, Intergrain, Cutek – the coating options we provide includes a selection of Paints, Lacquers, Oils, Stains & Primers.

 

Externally, our coatings can be applied to timber cladding, pergolas, screening, fencing, gates, garage doors, gazebos, lattice, decking, windows and doors.

 

Internally, they are widely used for internal panelling, ceiling fixtures, mouldings, panels and other fit out items.                                                                                 

 

When dealing with samples to determine a final selection for finish and colour, some important procedures must be observed.

 

   #   Transparent coatings allow timbers natural features to show through 

   #   Tansparency also means that the colour of the timber AND the colour of the finish will

         influence the final colour 

   #   The number of coats applied and the method of application will also influence the

         final colour.

         For example - 2 coats will give a slightly different colour than 3 coats. 4 coats will be

         different again. Brush application will give a slightly different colour than spray application.

 

The colour of the coating can also play a part in all this. A darker coloured coating will be the least affected by timber type, number of coats, etc. A lighter coloured coating will be the most affected, as it allows the natural colour of the timber to show through the most. The more coats of a light coloured semi transparent coating that is applied, the less the contribution from the timber. Hence the colour differential between 2, 3 or 4 coats will be more obvious.

 

   #   To maintain an overall even appearance, the timber type used, the number 

         of coats applied and the method of application should be kept the same

         for the whole job.

 

   #   If the colour and finish was chosen based on a prepared sample, then in order

        to achieve the same appearance, the job needs to be done in the same manner

        in which the sample was presented – the same number of coats and the same

        application technique.
