The Australian sun is extremely harsh. It ages wood quickly, and makes it look old and worn.
In most cases a coat of stain or can bring the wood back to life, draw out the grain and make it look fresh.A clean with the gurney can also bring out the desired result for less money.
It’s important the wood looks connected to the home, so the choice of colour is important to ensure it ties in with the exterior palette of the house.
In more severe cases full coarse and fine sanding is required, along with the replacement of rotten or damaged boards.
