After years of exposure and weathering, it is likely that
your timber shutters in Canberra are showing signs of wear and tear. When
properly care for, these shutters are known to last for decades, which is why
it is so important that you repair them as soon as you notice signs of wear and
damage. Follow these instructions to ensure your window coverings are as long
lasting as possible:
Step 1: Remove the shutters from the windows of your home
and carefully inspect them, setting aside those that are in need of repair.
Give these coverings a scrape with a paint scraper to remove any loose paint,
then give them a brush with a wire brush to remove any other debris.
Step 2: Apply a thin coat of epoxy primer to the damaged
areas of the shutter in Canberra, and leave it to set for about 5 minutes. Then
mix together an epoxy filler and apply it to the damaged areas using a putty
knife. Leave the whole covering to dry.
Step 3: Apply wood glue to any loose joints or cracked areas
of the timber shutters, clamping them together to hold in place whilst the glue
dries. Using a sanding block, sand back the areas of the shutters that you have
repaired so that they are flush with the surface of the timber.
Once you are finished, you might like to apply a coat of
paint to the shutters in Canberra so that they really do look as good as new.
You should also paint any shutters that were not damaged so that they all match
and you will never be able to tell the difference. Just be sure to apply a
primer so that whatever colour you choose takes to the wood.
