Wood finishing

 We recommend that  Oil is used on Oak and Iroko. A thin coat should be applied prior to leaving the workshop.

A further coat should be applied after fitting.

A silver look to exterior joinery can be obtained by allowing the oil to fade. This process takes about a year or two depending on the amount of sun and weather exposure. For the best results lightly scrub the surface with a wire brush to limit the rain staining

Both Oak and Iroko contain enough natural tannins to keep the wood protected.

Iroko can be stained light oak using the Sadolins 3 coat system. You will then achieve the look of Oak at lower prices. The windows however will not turn silver with age.
