Elements of living. In stone, wood, metal and glass. Each with its own depth of character. Each with an architectural presence to shape and define space uniquely. And each with its own struggle against assault from an unrelenting world.

Protecting these investments calls for a practiced hand, a keen eye, and a revolutionary mind to push the boundaries of technology further. Stuart Dean.

n

Reconditioning – When original finish is intact but dirt, wax and contaminants have accumulated. Surface is deep cleaned before toning, sanding and proprietary finishing is completed.

n

Refinishing – Stripping all surface coatings and stain. Damaged areas are repaired with epoxy or soft wood fill, sanded, stained and sealed.

Afterwards, the area is sand-sealed with fine sandpaper and two coats of protective top coat.
