Raffles TSV Finishes
The finishes available provide a wide range of options to suit particular needs and window requirements. Finishes Include:
Oil Finish
This is the most economical finish, it provides a deep, low sheen effect and includes an anti-fungal agent and UV inhibitor. Oil, unlike wax, actually dries so it will not collect dust to the same extent. However, like wax, it needs to be reapplied every 2-5 years depending on location. We offer a choice of light-mid tones and mid-dark tones.
Clear Lacquer
The two-pak (2k) lacquer provides the highest protection from the sun. Available in a clear finish, our two-pak (2k) lacquer reduces the yellowing effect caused by the sun. It is the hardest finish therefore, it will not scratch as easily as other finishes. We offer light-mid tones and mid-dark tones.
Stain
The staining process is applied prior to a light sand and application of 2 coats of lacquer. Staining offers greater protection due to the UV blockers occurring in the stain. Colour variations will occur when staining Western Red Cedar due to the density and grain of the timber.
