Structuring is an in-house process where we remove the softer part of the grain from the timber, leaving the harder grain tightened, adding further character to the timber.
Structuring can also be referred to as wire brushing and can be carried out on a range of timber species. The depth of the structuring can vary from species to species depending on the timbers density.
View samples from the comfort of your home or office using our virtual samples tool. This is the quickest, easiest and most sustainable way of viewing samples. Zoom in and out, tilt to different angles and even download for a later date if needed.
The swatches above are various species and have been produced professionally in factory conditions. The substrate selected will have an effect on the overall appearance and finish of the product. Therefore these swatches should be used as a guide and official samples will be provided in your selected species, surface finish and shade for approval before processing.
We offer coatings from a range of coating manufacturers, this allows us to offer the most suitable coating system for each project.
Consisting of a unique combination of silicon and potassium – two natural substances found all around us and which, together, create a natural shield similar to nature’s own wood protection. SiOO X Wood Protection is inspired by how nature protects itself using silicon.
Opaque coating systems are a solid colour which delivers a consistent finish. Due to the high amounts of pigment in the coating the colour from the grain of the timber is hidden, resulting in a uniform finish to each length of timber.
Translucent coating systems for external applications.
Translucent coating systems offer a natural and decorative appearance while providing optimal protection to a timber substrate. A careful balance of pigments and binders mean the coating accentuates the grain of the timber, delivering a natural appearance.
Depending on the coating manufacturer, translucent coatings can vary from either two or three coat systems.
Wood Stain coating systems for external applications.
Wood Stain coating systems offer an extremely natural and rustic appearance. They are a matte finish with high penetration properties, which are low-film forming on the surface of the timber. Wood stain coating systems soak into the timber and offer excellent UV protection and high water vapour permeability.
It is well documented that burning timber is damaging to the environment as harmful fumes and toxins are released into the atmosphere, ultimately reducing the quality of the air we breathe.
An extensive range of internal coating systems for a range of applications.
We offer a range of coating systems for internal components such as flooring, skirting, architraves, door casings and decorative mouldings. All of which are available in a range of colours and finishes to suit your project.
Our internal coatings range covers products from priming, lacquering and fully finishing.
We test our products using both accelerated weather testing machines and real world testing in our bespoke external testing programme, the first of its kind in the UK. Our testing field was designed and built in collaboration with our coating partners as well as brands like Accoya and Abodo. We even have our products on exposure testing in Malaysia and the Netherlands.
All of this information allows us to advise clients and architects on the most suitable specification for their project. It also allows us to demonstrate how different coatings perform on a range of timber species, as well as highlighting the issues that can be caused when a coating system is incorrectly specified.
