Internal Archway

This internal archway was stripped of paint to show the highly figured Rimu timber used in its construction. The effect it had on the entrance hallway was to draw people in as you enter the property and this ordinary archway that so many of New Zealand homes have became a major feature.

This is what our client said:

"DELIGHTED with the archway..........thank you we are thrilled."

Staircase and Floor Before and After

The stairs were covered in a thick black treacley varnish, on the first picture you can see the contrast in colour to the left of the newel post where I had performed a demonstration. You can clearly see the beautiful glow of the Kauri . The stairs were finished with our natural beeswax polish.
The floor was stripped with Easy Strip as oppose to being sanded. This way we kept the natural patination of the timbers with all the historic character it has developed over the years. Our client preferred a polyurethane finish due to the amount of traffic and exposure to the weather as people enter from outside.

Outstripping the rest

Easy Strip launched in Australia

Easy Strip was launched in Australia at the HIA show Melbourne during 7-15 April.
The show was a huge success and just about sold out of Easy Strip. Future orders can be made through Australian distributors Jex Industries Pty Ltd, Box Hill, Melbourne, Tel: 03 9890 0411 or by email to sales@jex.com.au
Many at the show marvelled at the demonstrations when they saw how easy multiple layers of paint came off, and at the low odour of the products. Although Easy Strip is more expensive than conventional strippers typically found in hardware stores across Australia, this was not a barrier to sales with people jostling to purchase and often blocking the aisles.
I guess people want a product that makes life easier and at the end of the day Easy Strip is price competetive because with a conventional stripper you often have to do the job two or three times to get the same result and therefore use more product.

Look at this door

This door took just a few hours and 2 litres of Easy Strip. Total cost of products is less than $100.
