Why To Experiment With Wood Colour Tones This Season
Trialing different tones and designs within the domestic space can give your home or garden a brand new appearance, transforming bland wooden surfaces into the envy of every visitor. Though it may seem an easy decision in theory, there are all manner of tones, oil finish types and paints to discover, each suited to a different environment. Continue and let Treatex take you through some of the very best options, including desirable deep brown shades, unique UV-resistant colours and oils which can safeguard your wooden structure from the harshest of seasonal weather.
Custom Wood Surfaces
Wooden surfaces can be found within most homes or gardens, with timber mantlepieces, furniture crafted from oak and large outbuildings made from mahogany. Though wood of course looks fantastic for either added detail or as a central component to a room or wider space, these materials can very quickly decline or sustain a worn appearance if not correctly maintained. Wood is liable to warp and lose natural tones as it is exposed to the outside air or varied interior temperatures, giving it a misshapen and unappealing look.
Custom wooden surfaces which have been spruced up with paints and oils can appear as good as new. Not only will a lick of paint or preserver remain aesthetically pleasing, this coat can even protect the items in question from an array of routine problems. Whether you’re immersing yourself in inspired seasonal designs, considering a complete transformation or simply touching up some details, Treatex Ltd maintain an ever-growing collection of affordable eco-friendly products, while wooden floor care should also be considered.
Restyle And Refurbish
Seasonal tones and colours are an interior designer’s bread and butter, so if you’re looking to cook up a fantastic sitting room space or lounge chill-out area, considering the ashy browns, dark oak options and varied lighter tones of Colour Tones (Ultra) will set you up for success. Formulated specifically for the inside of your home, these shades should keep the natural beauty of wood, while providing a brand new colour to it. Match the colours in your home and change how floors, doors, stairs and surfaces look. Options to choose from include slate, ebony and pebble grey, while multiple sizes ensure you’re covered for even the largest of wooden worktops or tables.
With downpour, heavy winds and crippling heat to contend with, painted wooden structures from the garden are exposed to all sorts of conditions. Decline from the destructive effects of UV rays will be a problem of the past when refurbishing with the Exterior Eco Colours collection. Doors, windows, sheds, cladding, cabinets, toys, pet houses and many other common wood objects are compatible with this fantastic paint choice, complying with the increasingly stringent criteria relating to solvents and harmful VOCs.
Maintaining Condition
Maintaining wooden utilities in the midst of a busy schedule can seem like a chore, but by experimenting with wood colour tones, you can seamlessly minimise repairs and replacements. A lick of paint can cover or obscure previous instances of damage or decline accumulated over time, providing excellent adhesion to assorted wood surfaces. Also fast-drying, easy to use and exceptionally durable, the Exterior Eco Colours are available in five primary colours, but these can be mixed to create any colour you need!
Seasonal Inspiration
Theming areas of your property can really create a unique feel to the various rooms and sections, with seasonal colours, patterns and tones an ever-popular choice. From the brighter vibrant picks of a Summer space, to the earthy cool brown shades of autumn, there are assorted ideas to keep in mind. These may include:
Spring
The correct colours can transform a bland room into an appealing interior space, and deciding to utilise the recognisable of spring will curate a welcoming and homely feel. Spring colours are typically clear pigments with a floral theme, such as pale blues, greens and vibrant yellows which signal the upcoming Summer period.
Summer
Brighter more striking colour choices will accompany the Summer, and these colour schemes can be fantastic for the wooden detailing or crib within a baby's bedroom. Recognisable deep orange and yellow tones conjure up images of the sun on the horizon while grasslike pale and deep greens are worth considering.
Autumn
More traditional dark brown and Autumn dark reddish details are the trusty option when it comes to seasonal autumn design, with playhouses, sheds and fence panels all making a great option for this colour scheme. Dark and light oak paint options are as autumnal as it gets, while you may even want to mix up your own with Exterior Eco Colours.
Winter
Icey blues, distant greys and pale polar white variations may be favoured by some, but your cushy Winter space can be made just as aesthetically pleasing with deep browns and festive reds or greens. Whichever you choose, select Treatex Ltd for durable coats and effortlessly adaptable tones.
Preparation/Application
When your paint of choice has been acquired, and ideas are floating around, preparation and application can become the point of focus. Check below for assorted tips relevant to the Colour Tones (Ultra) and Exterior Eco Colours ranges, and fulfil the potential of these versatile and vibrant wood paint selections:
Colour Tones (Ultra)
● Sand the surface to smoothness using sandpaper, ensuring all previous finishes are removed.
● Make sure the surface is thoroughly dried before application and ensure you have enough paint for the whole project before beginning.
● Conduct a small trial application before beginning the actual coat, as oak colour stains will take to various species of timber differently.
● Roll or brush on one coat of paint, as a second application will only slightly deepen the colour.
● Remove excess product for an even drying. Drying should take around 3 to 6 hours if warmth and ventilation are maintained.
Exterior Eco Colours
● Remove previous finishes beforehand, ensuring the surfaces are dry and free from contaminants.
● Apply a trial application prior to starting the painting, as some timbers will react differently.
● Stir tins thoroughly before use and during application, using a brush or roller to apply the paint evenly
● For internal use, apply up to 2 coats, with 3 coats adequate protection for external use.
● Check that your surface is touch dry in roughly 3 hours, and coat after 8 hours.
