Our finishing
process
We take no shortcuts when it comes to wood!
Quality is everything. Whether your item is painted or has a natural finish we have measures in place to ensure that quality remains top notch. Every screw or nail used during the assembly of our wooden products is filled and sanded down not only for the finishing process but also for your safety. All our paints, knot sealers, wood primers and paints are sourced from reputable suppliers, which adds to the longevity of your product.
Our paint work
- Every nail and screw used during the assembly of cladding the panels is filled and sanded down in preparation for painting.
- A knot sealer is then sprayed onto every single knot. This greatly reduces the chance of resin discolouring the paint.
- Wood primer is then applied to the exterior and interior of the unit, followed by two coats of satin acrylic paint.
- All our paint is sourced from Sabre which we have been using for the last 15 years. In our experience it has added to the longevity of our play houses with minimal maintenance required.
- Every component goes through this paint process prior to the building and assembly of the unit.
Our natural finishes
Our natural finish units have two coats of Waksol applied to the exterior. Waksol, as the name indicates is a waxy residue which penetrates and soaks into the texture and fiber of the wood as oppose to some varnishers which just sits on the top layer. The benefit of using Waksol is that the unit does not need to be sanded down during the maintenance process. Simply apply a fresh coat every 8-12 months so that your wood does not become dry.
Fantastic work and great service! thanks so much Wood Concept team!
