Here at Treatex, we are passionate about everything wooden. Wood possesses qualities that no other material does - it is warm, smooth to touch and its dynamic colour and texture is a treat for the eye. We specialise in high-quality wood finishes that enhance the natural beauty of wood. Our finishes are also designed to protect your wood from any potential damage or wear. All Treatex finishes are easy to apply, attractive and very durable. Application of the first coats were all done under warm conditions where the sun was shining onto the board.
