Faux was Here
Our Work
Heritage
Geoff and his team are experts in heritage restoration. Utilizing faux techniques they are able to portray timber fireplaces as marble, add specialized timber finishes - from walnut to oak, onto any surface; transform new extensions into heritage additions, match existing friezes, transform ceiling roses into masterpieces and use gilding techniques to highlight some of the key decorative areas to truly compliment a heritage home.
One of the most important techniques to ensure proper preservation of heritage work is preparation. Geoff and his team pay particular attention to stripping or preparing and sealing of surfaces prior to paint decoration. Geoff advises that a professional painting job can mean 6 or more coats of preparation, decorative and finishing paints, which ensures a result that will last a lifetime.
Contemporary
Current trends favour contemporary finishes such as French and Lime Washes, as well as feature walls, and, especially for outdoors or garden rooms, Trompe L'oile. With his artistic talents, and creative skills Geoff is able to discuss your concept or theme then design and complete the work as per your requirements.
Safety
As guests in a clients' home or business, Geoff's first priority is to protect your property and cause minimal disruption to your home or business operations. Paint stripping and timber preparation are inherently messy and can involve hazardous materials, so Geoff has developed a set of procedures to minimize the impact and ensure protection to your work or living space.
If old paint is not handled properly, lead dust and paint chips can remain in the home or on the garden years after the work is completed. Geoff and his team utilize all the latest products and technology to ensure a safe working environment.
Environment Protection
Geoff and his team maintain a tidy and hazardous free work place ensuring that paint thinners, lead removal products and other toxic wastes are properly disposed of.
