End Grain Sealing
Over the last six years the BRE has carried out thousands of tests on timber finishes. They have concluded that the biggest failure is caused by moisture penetration through the end grain.
All external joinery manufactured by George Barnsdale has the end grain treated and then bonded with adhesive. This allows us to offer an 8 year warranty on the paint finish, underwritten by our paint supplier.

A typical example where moisture has penetrated the end grain & pushed off the paint |
|
 |
If the face or the joint between the section cracks water will penetrate the end grain. Applying a sealer in the V of these joints will stop this occurring | |
 |
Before the joints are glued a long life end grain sealer is applied | |
 |
If this area fails, the end grain will draw in water leading to early decay. |
