We want to paint them Oak brown in colour.
We do NOT want to sandblast so painting is our only option.
Your advise PLEASE?
Many thanks

I have not used them but I know someone who did get something from them to strip the old thick black stuff off his beams.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2160#Comment_2160 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2160#Comment_2160 Fri, 13 Apr 2007 21:38:04 +0100 nigel
You can clean oak beams with a wire brush attached to a drill.
Dusty but the beams come up very well.
Oak brown paint will always look like oak brown paint.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2161#Comment_2161 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2161#Comment_2161 Fri, 13 Apr 2007 23:16:26 +0100 Chris Wardle
Best to strip back to their natural state or, failing that, paint them the same colour as the adjacent wall/ceiling so you don't notice them.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2202#Comment_2202 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2202#Comment_2202 Mon, 16 Apr 2007 11:05:24 +0100 coolcampervans https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2203#Comment_2203 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2203#Comment_2203 Mon, 16 Apr 2007 11:27:01 +0100 WoodYouLikeKent https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2343#Comment_2343 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=191&Focus=2343#Comment_2343 Fri, 20 Apr 2007 14:34:15 +0100 simon

They are a fantastic company that have done great job.
No mess, polite service and our beams look as good as old!
