How to Restore Wood Furniture

Over time your wood furniture can lose its lustre. UV exposure, weathering and everyday wear and tear may begin to negatively impact the look of your wood furniture, causing it to grey.

In order to restore your wood furniture, you need a product that reverses these effects and brings life back to your faded wood furniture. This is where GK Wood Restorer™ comes into play.

Wood Restorer

GK Wood Restorer™ is a user-friendly solution that effortlessly brings the original look and charm back to your wood furniture, fixing the effects of greying from UV exposure, weathering and wear. Our versatile product can be used on both indoor and outdoor wood furniture, ensuring a safe application on joints that will not compromise adhesives.

Renowned for its fast-acting and quick-drying formula, GK Wood Restorer™ is the perfect choice for all wood restoration projects.

GK Wood Restorer™ can be used on various wood surfaces including windows, sheds, fences, decking, or any outdoor wooden furniture. After application, the fresh, warm wood colour is restored, and restored surfaces can be painted once the formula has dried.

Providing an average of 4-5m2 per litre, GK Wood Restorer™ is excellent value for money compared to other products available on the market.

Easy Application

You can easily apply GK Wood Restorer™ along damp wood grain using a brush, spray or roller. It should not be allowed to dry out, so we recommend working on 2m lengths at a time to avoid this.

If it does dry, simply rehydrate by spraying more product into dry areas. Leave it to work for 30 minutes, agitate with a stiff brush and rinse. You can repeat this process as many times as you like until the wood is bright and clean.

Application Instructions: Revive Your Wood in a Few Simple Steps

Before you begin, always test a small, inconspicuous area to ensure the finished result meets your expectations.

Important: GK Wood Restorer™ is supplied ready to use. DO NOT DILUTE.

Dampen the Timber: Lightly dampen the wood (do not soak it) before applying the restorer. This helps the product penetrate effectively.

Apply Generously: Apply GK Wood Restorer™ generously to all exposed sides of the wood, working along the grain. Use a brush, spray, or roller for even coverage. Do not allow the product to dry out.

Work in Sections: To prevent drying, work on manageable sections of approximately 2 meters in length.

Rehydrate if Necessary: If the product starts to dry, simply rehydrate the area by spraying it with more GK Wood Restorer™.

Let it Work: Allow the product to work for approximately 30 minutes.

Agitate and Rinse: After 30 minutes, vigorously agitate the surface with a stiff, non-metal brush dampened with water. This helps to loosen and remove dirt and grime. Then, thoroughly rinse the treated area, removing all residue.

Repeat if Needed: Repeat steps 2-6 as necessary until the wood is bright, clean, and restored to its natural beauty.

Prepare for Finishing: Once the wood is clean and dry, it's ready for sanding and the application of preservative treatments. This will help to protect the wood from further UV damage and weathering, ensuring long-lasting results.
