Media Blasting
Media blasting can transform your tired and ragged timbers or los to a fresh, new surface for re-staining. If your structure has a failing stain product, has not been well-maintained for years, if you’d like to change colors, or want switch from paint to stain, media blasting is a solid way to go.
What is it? Media blasting is a process of cleaning and preparing the surfaces of your home for refinishing. It involves propelling moderately abrasive materials at high speeds to remove previous coats of stain and paint, as well as other accumulated deposits. It evens out the "complexion" and surface of weathered logs, providing a fresh new base to stain.
We use only eco-friendly media such as super-fine crushed glass which has no negative affects to your home or landscaping and is safe for pets and children. After media blasting, we hand-sand any areas that were roughed up by the media a little too much. Then we apply a borate product, primer, stain, and finish coat.
Media blasting is the ideal way to completely refresh the look and maintenance of your log or timber home.
