Services

Glazing

All Baker & Davies windows and Doors can be single or double glazed. Our double glazed units have a large 12mm Air Gap for maximum insulation. Most of our Glazing is done in our factory prior to delivery but larger squares, due to their weight, can be glazed on site.

Any glass can be specified including laminated, toughened, tinted, Low E or obscure. See attachment for a simple guide to Energy Management comparing six of the most popular glass alternatives. For more comprehensive information of Glass performance Data go to www.pilkington.com.au

Priming

When a paint finish is required, Baker & Davies will pink prime joinery in factory. This allows all joinery to be primed before it is glazed and before doors, sashes or hardware is added achieving a much better coverage and protection.

All rebates and glazing beads are primed before glazing.

Baker & Davies use PPG "Waterborne" Acrylic Primer. This product has performed the best from our own extensive testing of all major brands and products.

If a job requires a different primer we can supply all joinery unprimed

All Door sills are coated with linseed oil.

Bar Dk

If a job is to be stained or have a clear finish, we will apply one coat of Cabots "Bar Dk". This provides weather protection of the raw timer for 3 months.

Air Drying

Baker & Davies has their own timber yard for air drying timber. All Merbau and WRC is purchased green and stacked in the timber yard with battens between each length enabling air to circulate. It is then left out for 2-3 years depending on thickness. Air drying timer provides a much more stable and better quality product. Other joiners may use green Merbau, which can move and crack as it dries or use Kiln Dried WRC which can be brittle and split.

Quantum Aquatec Timber Finish

Quantum Aquatec is a water repellent treatment that offers broad protection against degradation, discolouration and defacement caused by mould mildew and algae. It is a water dispersed oil coating that is a non-hazardous substance by work safe criteria. Aquatec is an excellent treatment for the prevention of blue stain and other decay in pine and hardwood as a pre-treatment for exterior joinery components and finished products.

Aquatec can be supplied as either fast drying or slow drying formula. It should be noted that the slower drying the better the penetration.
