Glenys contacted The Painting People after a friend of her’s recommended us to due the great service we provided for them.
Her house is located in Myola Rd, Newport a great location with ocean views yet was in desperate need of some TLC.
The exterior weather boards of the house were in poor condition and they were flaking and peeling all over. Her house had not been painted for 10 years and you could say that paint will last a decade if the preparation was done correctly, but not in this case. Her house was stained and not painted. The difference there is that staining of any exterior timber should be refreshed no later than 5 years as the exterior staining product deteriorates alot quicker as it is not as uv resistant to the sun as the Dulux And Wattyl paint.
The first step we under took on the job was to apply a solution that will remove all the dirt out of the cracks and splits that were in the timber. So using gloves and hard bristle brooms we scrubbed the timber panel down one by one allowing it than to sit for a few hours after returning and pressure washing it clean. This method was used right throughout the exterior of the house.
After washing was completed the next step was to allow the timber to fully dry, which meant leaving it for a few days. The team of painters and i returned to the property two days later and began sanding back the timber with electric sanders using coarse sand paper and finishing of with very fine paper ensuring surface was left smooth and flawless.
The next process after this was to apply the Sikkens HLS. hls A highly water repellent penetrating low build transparent wood stain used as a base coat under Supernatural, Filter 7, Cetol TGL and Cetol Deck/Plus. Also Available in ten pigmented colours
After apply the Hls and leaving it to cure and dry it was time to apply the first coat of Sikkens Filter 7 Plus. This product is a exterior satin wood stain with excellent durability, resistance to UV- radiation, which results in a flexible and longer lasting coating.The features of this product is its water resistant, water repellent, easy application, and has no dirt pick up.
After applying two coats of the Filter 7 Plus we are left with stunning free standing weather board house as shown in the pictures below.
