Long-lasting, beautiful results start with good preparation work.
In some cases, timber requires more intensive preparation before it can be effectively restored and protected. Stripping involves the careful removal of old, degraded or incompatible coatings that can prevent new stains or oils from adhering properly. Without this crucial step, new treatments may peel, flake or fail prematurely.
At Cedar Solutions we have extensive experience stripping these coatings using specialised, eco-friendly methods that safeguard the timber fibres while thoroughly preparing the surface — a clean, sound base for applying high-performance stains or oils that extends the life of your cedar and maintains its natural beauty.
