Please see our last blog on timber, “Choosing the Finest Timber for Durable Exterior Doors and Windows“, we go in to the timbers that we use here at Reeve & Co Interiors, from oak that we finished with AQUA WOODEX wood oil to Accoya/  Tricoya, Frake Thermally Modified Timber and Utile wood that use AQUAPRIMER, ANTISTAIN and AQUATOP

1. Teknos AQUAPRIMER: Teknos AQUAPRIMER serves as an excellent foundation for your joinery projects. Designed to penetrate deep into the wood substrate, this primer creates a stable base for subsequent coatings. Its water-based formulation ensures fast drying times, allowing you to proceed with your project efficiently. AQUAPRIMER enhances adhesion, minimizes grain raising, and provides excellent resistance to moisture, making it ideal for both interior and exterior applications.
2. Teknos ANTISTAIN: Wooden doors and windows are susceptible to staining caused by tannins and extractives present in the wood. Teknos ANTISTAIN is specifically formulated to combat this issue. By effectively blocking the migration of tannins and other stains to the surface, ANTISTAIN helps maintain the pristine appearance of your joinery. Whether you’re working with hardwoods or softwoods, this product ensures consistent colouration and minimizes the risk of unsightly stains spoiling your finish.
3. TEKNOL  AQUATOP: For a durable and visually appealing topcoat, TEKNOL AQUATOP is the go-to choice. This waterborne, acrylic-based coating offers superior protection against UV radiation, moisture, and mechanical wear. Its advanced formulation delivers excellent flow and levelling, resulting in a smooth and even finish. AQUATOP is available in a wide range of colours, allowing you to achieve your desired aesthetic while ensuring long-term durability for your doors and windows.
4. Teknos AQUA WOODEX wood oil: When it comes to exterior joinery, Teknos AQUA WOODEX is the ultimate solution for enhancing both appearance and performance. This translucent wood finish penetrates deep into the substrate, enriching the natural beauty of the wood while providing robust protection against weathering and fungal decay. AQUA WOODEX is available in various finishes, including matt, satin, and gloss, allowing you to tailor the sheen level to your preference. Whether you’re refinishing existing doors and windows or embarking on new projects, AQUA WOODEX offers unmatched versatility and durability.
