Finish Specification

The paint or stain finish applied to the Dempsey product range is of an exceptionally high standard. Each Timber product undergoes a 4 step finishing process. The assembled product is treated to protect endgrains from moisture ingress and a base coat is applied by flowcoater and two top coats are applied to the correct micron thickness by our factory controlled spray line.

Our paint system protects the wood in three ways:

It protects the wood from harmful ultra-violet rays which can cause greying and coarsing of the wood.
It protects the wood from water ingress, and being microporous allows excess moisture to escape.
It is felxible and it can therefore expand and contract naturally with the Timber.

The benefits of factory finishing as opposed to finishing the product on-site are many, some of which are as follows:

Superior aesthetic finish.
Joinery coated in a controlled environment (no rain, snow or hail and a controlled temperature for spraying and drying).
Correct film thickness for maximum durability.
Low cost maintenance.
Superior quality product.
Avoidance of site costs of labour & scaffolding.

Our maintenance guidelines recommend maintenance methods and intervals. Lighter translucent colours require more maintenance than darker translucent and opaque colours. Water based microporous paints and stains should be used for recoating. Never use non-microporous paints or varnishes.

Preservation

Preservation influences the life expectancy of some Timber species used for external European Redwood joinery. We have two preservative processes which comprise of either water bourne preservative treatment applied by flowcoater or preservation by the double vacuum process.

The water bourne preservative treatment applied by flowcoater impregnates the assembled product by deluge absorption (providing the required protective envelope).
