Teknos

At Made to Measure we have partnered with Teknos in order to offer you the best long-term protection for your joinery.

Our handcrafted, made to measure wooden gates are built to last, combining quality craftsmanship with a flawless finish. To enhance durability and style, we offer a professional spray finish using Teknos' high-performance coatings.

Our 5-coat painting system ensures maximum protection and a perfect finish:

Preservative Treatment – Before assembly, each individual piece of timber is treated with a preservative to help prevent rot and insect infestation.

End Sealer – We carefully seal and re-sand every exposed end grain to stop moisture from being absorbed into the wood.

Anti-Stain Primer – A specialist primer is applied to prevent tannins and resins from seeping through and affecting the topcoat’s appearance.

First Top Coat – Before assembly, we apply the first topcoat to ensure every part of the timber—including hidden areas like tongue and groove joints and behind the braces—is fully protected.

Final Assembly & Second Top Coat – Once the gate is fully assembled, it receives a final spray using airless, low-pressure fine-finish technology. This creates an even, protective coating that shields the wood from UV rays and water ingress, leaving a smooth, semi-satin finish in your chosen colour.

By choosing our sprayed finish, you’re ensuring your gate is not only beautifully painted but also protected for years to come.
