Timber façade painting in Arild: glazed veranda and cladding

NLL’s Arild reference project documents painting of timber cladding, woodwork and a glazed veranda. Narrow glazing bars and trim require their own preparation and application scope.

The veranda determined the schedule — glazing bars and trim are measured in linear metres, not square metres
Loose paint scraped away — new paint over loose old paint detaches with it
Coastal exposure raises demands — salt and westerly wind wear south and west sides faster

What did the work look like on site?

Painter brushing the white glazed veranda on a yellow Arild house, with finished cladding behind — The veranda is painted by hand with a narrow brush. Behind it, the cladding already has two coats: large areas always come first, woodwork last.

How did the work proceed, step by step?

Preparation and application depend on the timber’s condition, existing coating and selected paint system. The following stages describe the types of work that may be needed.

WashingThe entire façade is washed so dirt and algae are not trapped beneath new paint.
Scraping: remove loose paint and assess the remaining surface before applying a compatible coating.
Priming bare timberExposed timber is primed before topcoat; otherwise uneven absorption leaves a patchy finish.
Two coats on the claddingLarge areas first, with drying between coats.
Woodwork and veranda by handGlazing bars, trim and surrounds are painted with a narrow brush: this takes longest relative to area.

Why does a glazed veranda take longer than cladding?

A clad wall can be painted in long strokes. A glazed veranda instead consists of glazing bars, trim and surrounds: narrow surfaces measured in linear rather than square metres, with every edge kept straight against glass.

The veranda also faces coastal weather in Arild. Salt and westerly wind wear south and west sides faster than the rest, so these needed most scraping before priming.

How often does a timber façade need repainting?

Inspect each side of a timber house separately. Sun, rain, shade, existing coatings and construction details can affect wear differently; one wall’s condition does not establish the condition of the rest.

At a coastal property in Arild, assess exposure alongside the surface and existing coating. The required treatment depends on the actual condition.

The practical advice is simple: walk around annually and feel by hand. If paint is firmly attached and even, nothing is needed. If it chalks onto your palm or bare timber shows at joints and end grain, it is time; repainting is then cheaper than first replacing cladding.

What was excluded?

The Arild project documents painting of the timber façade. Cladding replacement is a separate service with its own assessment of timber condition, underlying construction and scope.

The roof and metal details were also untouched. We can do these while scaffolding is up, but only if the customer wants; they should not be slipped into a quote.
