Comprehensive Inspection and Customised Proposal

Tailored Solutions for a Perfect Match

The client had recently renovated her home and needed her wooden staircase and bannisters to complement the grey tiles elsewhere in the house. Following an on-site inspection, we proposed a 2K oil-based stain topped with two coats of lacquer. Recognising her preference for a matte finish, we offered Pall-X 98 or the ultra-matte, VOC-free Pall-X Zero lacquer from Pallmann, renowned for its durability and eco-friendliness.

  • Client request: Match stairs to grey tiles
  • Proposed finishes: 2K Pall-X 333 stain, Pall-X 98 or Pall-X Zero
  • Unique offering: Eco-friendly, ultra-matte lacquer

Precision Stain Testing and Application

Achieving the Perfect Grey Tone

To ensure the best results, we conducted a testing phase using the client’s tile sample and wood samples. After rejecting lighter stains, we adjusted our sanding technique and utilised water-popping to enhance stain absorption. This process led to the ideal grey tone, approved by the client.

  • Testing phase: Tile and wood samples used
  • Techniques: Sanding adjustments, water-popping
  • Result: Client-approved grey tone

 Detailed Protection and Expert Application

Ensuring a Flawless Finish

The entire staircase was carefully covered with protective cardboard during the project. After removing the glue residue, we prepared the wood by water-popping overnight. The following day, we applied the stain, ensuring full saturation despite challenging lighting conditions. Finally, two coats of Pall-X Zero were applied for the most durable and eco-friendly finish.

  • Protection: Cardboard coverings, glue residue removal
  • Process: Overnight water-popping, stain saturation
  • Finish: Two coats of ultra-matte Pall-X Zero

Client Satisfaction and Final Results

Durable and Stunning Finish

The client was thrilled with the outcome, praising the depth and durability of the finish. By opting for the 2K stain and Pall-X Zero lacquer combination, she now enjoys the most durable and eco-conscious solution for her staircase.

  • Outcome: The client delighted with the results
  • Benefits: Durable, eco-friendly finish
  • Highlight: Expertise in wood staining and lacquering

Why Choose 2K Stains and Lacquers?

2K stains and lacquers provide unparalleled durability and a premium finish, ensuring long-lasting results for high-traffic areas like stairs. These products penetrate the wood deeply and offer superior protection against wear and tear compared to traditional finishes.

Eco-Friendly Stairs Restoration

Pall-X Zero is a VOC-free, ultra-matte lacquer that offers superior durability while minimising environmental impact. It is the ideal choice for clients prioritising sustainability without compromising on quality and durability.

Benefits of Water-Popping Techniques

Water-popping enhances stain absorption, resulting in deeper and more uniform colour tones on wooden surfaces. This technique is particularly effective in highlighting the natural grain of the wood, ensuring an elegant and even finish.

Our Expertise in Customised Finishes

Since 2004, we have specialised in creating bespoke finishes tailored to each client’s unique requirements. Our ability to match finishes with existing decor, combined with our use of advanced techniques and premium products, ensures exceptional results every time.

Matching Stains to Interior Design

Achieving the perfect stain colour involves meticulous testing. By using tile and wood samples, we ensure the final finish complements the overall design of your home, creating a seamless and harmonious look.

The Pall-X Zero Advantage

As the most durable lacquer in Pallmann’s range, Pall-X Zero offers unmatched protection. Its ultra-matte finish is ideal for hiding small imperfections while providing a sophisticated, natural look. This product is also VOC-free, making it the top choice for eco-conscious clients.

Long-Term Durability and Maintenance

Our combination of 2K stains and Pall-X Zero lacquer ensures long-lasting protection. With proper care, your staircase will retain its beauty for years. We also provide expert aftercare advice to help maintain the finish.
