New at Ace Sheds: Our Factory Base Treatment Service

Buying a new shed, workshop or summerhouse is exciting, but for many customers there is one job they look forward to the least... painting it.

Whilst treating your timber building is an important part of protecting it from the weather, we know that not everyone has the time, equipment or desire to spend a weekend applying multiple coats of wood treatment.

That's why we're pleased to introduce our new Factory Base Treatment Service.

What Is Factory Base Treatment?

Our Factory Base Treatment service is designed to give your building a strong level of protection before it even leaves our workshop.

During manufacture, our experienced team carefully applies two coats of high-quality Protek wood treatment to all accessible exterior surfaces of your building.

This provides an excellent base level of weather protection and saves you many hours of work after installation, allowing you to enjoy your new building sooner.

Whether you've chosen a garden shed, workshop or summerhouse, your building will arrive already professionally treated on the exterior.

Why We Use Protek

After researching a number of treatment systems, we chose Protek because of its excellent reputation within the timber industry.

Protek treatments are manufactured in the UK and are specifically designed to protect timber against the effects of the British weather, whilst also offering a wide range of attractive colours to complement any garden.

Combined with the pressure-treated timber used in our buildings, Protek helps provide an excellent level of long-term protection when maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

A Realistic Approach

Unlike some companies, we'd rather be honest about what this service is designed to achieve.

Our Factory Base Treatment provides a professional, high-quality base treatment applied under factory conditions, giving your building a strong level of initial protection from the day it's is installed.

We take great care to achieve thorough coverage of all accessible exterior surfaces and, in many cases, customers may find that no immediate additional treatment is required.

However, every garden is different.

A building in a sheltered position will naturally experience different weather conditions to one exposed to driving rain, coastal air or constant sunshine.

For this reason, additional coats of treatment may still be beneficial or necessary over time to build up protection levels and maintain the appearance of your building.

As with any timber garden building, routine maintenance is simply part of ownership and will help keep it looking its best for years to come.

The Natural Beauty of Timber

Timber is a natural material, and that's one of the reasons people love it.

As the seasons change, timber naturally expands and contracts in response to temperature and moisture. This is perfectly normal and forms part of the character of every wooden building.

Occasionally, this natural movement may reveal small areas that benefit from a simple touch-up coat of treatment. This isn't a fault—it's simply part of caring for a quality timber product.

To make this as easy as possible, we'll supply any remaining treatment where possible for future touch-ups.

Looking After Your Building

To keep your building looking its best, we recommend inspecting it periodically and maintaining the finish in accordance with Protek's recommendations, typically every 2–5 years, depending on weather exposure and site conditions.

A little maintenance goes a long way towards ensuring your Ace Sheds building continues to provide many years of reliable service.
