Doors

Raw finishes are great if you are trying to achieve an aged - silvered look, or want to finish the door yourself.

However, it's important to note that leaving it untreated for too long can cause the door to dry unevenly, resulting in a bow or twist. To prevent this, we recommend applying a finish as soon as you exept delivery. Not doing so could result in your warranty being voided.

A great way to maintained and brighten the timber. Our standard product is the Feast Watson range of external cladding oils in either; Natural or Black.

To help cut the brightness of the Natural and reduce the darkness of the black, we also offer a 50/50 mix that adds the warmth of the timber and highlights the grain.

We can also use the Cutek range, for a green toned oil, so we don't have to worry about the warmth from Natural

If you want to tone or recolour your timber to match the existing colour of your house without breaking the budget, a good place to start is by determining the colour tone of your timber. Timber can either have a warm tone (such as red, pink) or a cool tone (such as green). If you need to match a pre-existing colour, you can use the correct tone of timber to get the closest match.

Staining is also an option if the colour of the timber is too weak for the room or not brown enough.

Unlike the oil finishes, acrylic is designed be a protective film over the timber. Giving it a synthetic feel.

Acrylic is great for trying to keep the colour of the timber without darkening, tinting or yellowing straight away. Unfortunately, over time, the clear will yellow.

Maintenance for Acrylic clears, typically involves sanding the old coat off the timber and re applying. This process can take up to a few days to complete. The process will need to be repeated if clear starts to crack or peel away, typically happens after 2-3 years.

For a classic Scandinavian look, white liming on American oak can be a great choice. To make sure you get the most out of this look, we recommend you start with wire brushing the timber. This will really enhance the grain and make the liming mix stand out. White lime can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. To finish the project, we suggest sealing the timber with an acrylic clear to protect it from the elements.

Trying to create an aged finished in a controlled environment is always difficult, and can look as if it's manufactured.

Taking the weathered and aged timber from railway sleepers and wharfs, we are able to salvage and use the timber for our Entry doors.

To keep the rustic and weathered look of the timber, we start off with cleaning them of all residue of its previous life, dig out all spikes, nails or barnacles, and clean up with the wire brush removing all dirt and critters.

Once the door is assembled and ready for delivery, we seal it with the preservative oil, in either a 50/50 mix or just Natural.

Traditional Shou Sugi Ban or Yakisugi has recently been picked back up by the west, and we understand why.

Traditionally to do a Yakisugi finish, the timber originally chosen would be Cypress or Cedar and charred to help prevent Decay, insect infiltration and increase resistance to fire. As we don't work with Cypress or Cedar normally, we can not guarantee the finish will share the same benefits.

We can also use a charred effect paint, (image attached above). If we do char the timber, we seal it with a clear to help prevent black soot transferring to everything and everyone who walks by it.

 Bleaching the timber can be an uncertain process as to how much of the original color can be pulled out. This typically results in a slightly pale yellow hue in the wood, which is difficult to fully bleach out to a white. To take the yellow hue out of the bleached timber, a custom liming mix can be added to create a grey, white, or even darker than normal look. To ensure the desired outcome, a finishing sample with the timber used on your door should be produced to view the final tones and how the bleach will affect the timber.
