Order Production – Timber
Stain finishes are a semi-translucent finish. Due to timber’s natural variation in timber density, this can affect absorbency rates, which may result in some colour differences in individual timber components and a variation in finish. The Company is not held responsible for any such variations. Finger-Jointed timber maybe used on longer profiles.
Paint finishes are an opaque finish. The use of finger-jointed timber is permitted on this type of finish.
