In this case the design had to be an exact replacement for the existing properties as it was going to be inspected by the heritage department on completion to see if it was authentic in replacing the old original job.

Finnish Used

Beam Black water based stain was the chosen finish. It would weather down quickly to ensure the project kept the authentic original look. It was of concern that the new project would look brand new. Beam Black would weather down and leave a period looking finish
