Background 

The specialist has over 50 years’ experience of quality design and craftsmanship, producing top quality products and bespoke solutions to complement any style of property.  

Taking pride in every job they do, the specialist is experienced in working on major extensions and large renovation projects, specialising in windows, doors, conservatories, wooden floorings, staircases, kitchens and orangeries. 

Keen to maintain the quality finish and meticulous attention to detail that their reputation was built on, the specialist came to Redwood for expert advice on exterior finishings. 

Challenge 

The specialist was looking for an exterior finishing range that was approved for use with modified wood, Accoya – a certified, sustainable wood that is vastly superior to other man-made alternatives in terms of performance, versatility and sustainability, and featured heavily by top architects for exterior work. 

As experts in exterior finishings, we were happy to advise the specialist on the best solution for their needs. 

Solution 

After years of experience trialling different exterior finishings, we recommended the specialist use our Zobel exterior range, to enhance the high performing sustainable wood. 

Zobel’s range of exterior wood finishes is specifically designed to ensure Accoya remains durable over time. It protects against blue stain, which is required by Accoya and its manufacturer specifications, without the need to chemically impregnate the wood.  

Accoya is ideal for exterior use, as it offers less shrinkage and swelling, and requires minimal maintenance. On top of this, the Zobel coating delivers a smooth, desirable, even finish, whilst weather proofing the wood to ensure its longevity and stability.  

Outcome 

Since the specialist started using Zobel’s exterior range, they have been extremely pleased with the results.  

The specialist particularly likes the reduced drying times, reduced sanding and good coverage, and feel confident that they can continue to maintain their high standards by using our recommended range.
