    All timber surfaces receive two or three coats of paint spray. This is a water based “breather type” finishing paint which should require no further treatment on site, other than touch up. General maintenance, inspection and recoating will still be necessary as required. Due to heat absorption and the effect this has on timber, the Seller may not supply any warranty on the paint or stain or any associated defects when black or near-black paint or stain has been used, against the Sellers advise. For advise and guidance speak to one of our Customer Services Team.

 

Please Note: Colour variations can occur between painted timber and powder coated aluminium. These are normally within manufacturers accepted tolerances. All finishes to Oak, Sapele & all other hardwoods need inspecting every 12 months & recoated to manufacturers recommended specifications as required.

  1. Stain Finishes
    Please be aware, finish colour of any wood stain depends on many factors. Variations in finished colour may occur due to the variant characteristics of the timber chosen. As a result the Seller cannot guarantee consistency in the finished colour of goods supplied stained or translucent coated. Stain finished goods will require regular inspection & recoating to maintain the seal of the timber as UV breaks down translucent finishes.
