A-frames
A vaulted kitchen's exposed oak A-frames were carefully refreshed to replace a heavy, dated appearance with a lighter, more contemporary finish. Gentle surface restoration brought the natural grain back into focus while retaining the character and structural warmth of the original timber frame.

What was needed
We prepared the exposed oak A-frames throughout the vaulted kitchen, progressively lifting the dark stain and aged coating with a controlled, timber-sensitive process. The work focused on even cleaning across the main posts, braces and connecting members, protecting the surrounding kitchen and preserving the oak's texture and detailing for the next finish chosen by the homeowner.
