Specialist Service

Timber Staining and Finishes.Done Right.

Hardwood decks and timber architectural screening suffer rapid greying and splitting under Queensland intense sun. Our timber restoration specialists use oxalic acid tannin extractors and mechanical sanding to reveal fresh raw grain. We saturate the timber fibers with penetrating oils or marine grade clear polyurethanes that protect against water pooling and fungal rot.

Revealing and Preserving Natural Timber Warmth

Unprotected architectural hardwood quickly degrades under Queensland intense UV rays and humid air. Greyed timber, surface splintering, and tannin bleeding diminish the elegance of your outdoor entertaining spaces.

Our timber finishing artisans strip back weather damage and saturate hardwood fibers with high-durability oils and marine-grade clear finishes.

Comprehensive Timber Restoration Protocol

  1. Chemical Stripping: Oxalic acid washes lift old peeling polyurethanes, extract black tannin stains, and restore warm timber pigments.
  2. Orbital Sanding: Mechanical sanding with 80 to 120-grit abrasive sheets levels uneven board joints and eliminates sharp splinters.
  3. Pore Saturation: Penetrating natural oils (such as Cutek Extreme or Intergrain UltraDeck) penetrate deeply to replace natural wood oils.
  4. Protective Topcoat: A second protective barrier coat creates a water-beading hydrophobic shield across the surface.
