What is the best stuff to use on wooden windows that are looking quite weather beaten?
Bought my flat a little over a year ago and it was one of those jobs that has been put off and put off, now I need to get it sorted before the winter sets in. I have managed to arrange borrowing a mates long ladders in exchange for a few beers.
So I want something that is going to soak in to preserve the wood and also give a good finish, I am not too fussed if I have to buy two paints (undercoat and top coat) or even use a wood stain, I just want to know what is going to be best to help restore the windows and keep them good for a good few years to come.
The windows are currently painted in a dark oak (dark brown) colour and I am keen to keep them the same colour.
Any tips on prep or things to look out for when doing the job would be greatly appreciated too.
Cheers
Rusty
