A large deck, in sun and out of it

Deck finishing

One stained deck photographed twice, once with the sun across it and once out of it. A stain reads warmer in direct light.

    The same deck, no sun

A large open deck on a newer house, stained and then photographed twice. The second frame exists because a stain is not one colour: direct sun lifts the grain and warms it, and the same boards out of the sun read deeper and more even.

People pick a stain off a card indoors and then live with it outside, where it spends most of its life in the second condition rather than the first.

A job like this starts with a visit.

We come and look before there is a number, and you can ask exactly how this one was done.

Or ring 022 615 5816. Whichever is easier. There is no obligation either way and nobody will chase you.
