Varnishing & Wood Sealing for Oranjezicht homes & businesses
Pergolas, decks, doors and window frames in Oranjezicht take a beating from sun and rain. Regular sealing keeps timber from greying, cracking and rotting.
Oranjezicht homes under the mountain get runoff and damp, so waterproofing is a priority. Salt-laden air and the south-easter are hard on paint and steel, so coatings need to be marine-grade and properly primed.
Our varnishing & wood sealing service
Cape sun and winter rain are brutal on exposed timber. Without protection, pergolas grey, decks split and front doors peel within a couple of seasons. We sand back to clean timber, treat any rot or borer damage, and apply penetrating sealers or varnishes that suit the wood and how exposed it is. We also paint pergolas, fascias and timber cladding when a solid colour works better. From garage doors to staircase slats, we'll recommend the right finish and give you a realistic maintenance schedule.

Varnishing FAQs
How often should exterior wood be re-sealed?
Exposed timber in the Western Cape usually needs a maintenance coat every 12 to 24 months, depending on sun and sea exposure.
Varnish or sealer: which is better?
Penetrating sealers are easier to maintain outdoors; varnish gives a harder, glossier finish better suited to doors and indoor timber.
Can you restore grey, weathered wood?
In most cases, yes. We sand back to fresh timber and re-seal, which brings back the natural colour.
