Our next project. Cedar cladding, mould, heights and juts a few battens to work around. Will be a challenge that's for sure. 👌👌 CUTEK® Australia is our choice of coating for this one

Very happy with how this farm property came up 👌

This was a brand-new build that had been pre-oiled in CUTEK, but the clients decided they wanted to go in a different direction with the finish.

Before we could apply Grimes & Sons Controlled Erosion Stain (CES), the existing oil had to be completely removed. This was the critical part of the job — if any CUTEK remained in the timber, the water-based CES wouldn’t properly pe*****te or perform, potentially creating much bigger problems down the track.

Once we had the timber completely stripped and prepared, we coated it in Grimes & Sons CES in Natural Grey — and the finished result looks fantastic.

Jobs like this are exactly why we now custom-blend our own cleaning solutions. We know exactly what’s in them, how they’ll react with different coatings and timbers, and what strength we need to get the result without damaging the timber.

A tricky process, but a very rewarding result. 👌

A worn and mouldy treated pine deck surrounded this home, a lot of cleaning with some hot water, a good brush down and 2 coats of CUTEK® Australia sela brown has bought it all back to life. 👌👌

Bit of an interesting one on this project 👇

The Blackbutt cladding and fascia had been pre-oiled in CUTEK, which is normally a perfect choice for protecting exterior timber.

However, the clients decided they wanted to change the look and go with Grimes & Sons Controlled Erosion Stain (CES) instead.

The challenge? Water-based CES and mineral-based CUTEK don’t get along.

After some testing with our cleaning system, we found we could successfully remove the existing CUTEK and get the timber back to a suitable surface for the CES.

From there, we applied 2 coats of CES in Natural Grey to achieve the new finish the clients were after.

👉 Check out the last 3 photos:
1️⃣ Blackbutt coated in CUTEK
2️⃣ CUTEK completely removed
3️⃣ Finished with 2 coats of CES Natural Grey

A good example of why surface preparation is everything when changing coating systems — you can’t just put one product over another and hope for the best.

This large wrap around deck was coated in an oil that hid the spotted gum underneath it. The clients loved the look of timber and wanted to see it. Once cleaned, we brushed it all up and a few coats of CUTEK® Australia sela Brown was enough to bring it back to life.

3 klm of spotted gum cladding pre oiled in CUTEK® Australia grey mist. Never an easy tint to use but comes up great when it does 👌👌

A few thousand meters of blackbutt double coated in Grimes & Sons Ace Umber controlled erosion stain. Coatings that highlight those natural features are high on our list of winners. 👌👌 Walker Construction Co BARWON TIMBER

Finished off this 900sqm deck. The largest we have done so far . With the walls done in pier grey our go to for spotted Gum decking was an easy choice in Smokey Grey. Close to 200L of oil went into this and once it soaks on will leave that natural gray timber finish.
Very happy to get this amazing project finished. 👌👌👌

Part 1 walls: One of our biggest projects to date, this absolutely amazing home on the Surfcoast with spotted Gum cladding and over 900sqm of spotted decking was in need of a refresh. The cladding was patchy and uneven from the sun and weather.
The clients liked the grey weathered look so after some sampling pier grey controlled erosion stain was chosen for the walls and Smokey grey for the decks.
It's critical to get clean timber when oiling so when you do, there are no barriers to stop the oil penetrating and also to get the best finish. Grimes oils grey it out but also let the natural features of the timber show through.
A few weeks of cleaning and just as long coating it's has come up exactly as expected.
Part 2 will be the decks.
