Professionals & specification

If you coat wood for a living, talk to us directly.

Painters, builders, architects and dealers get a phone number that reaches someone who has actually used the product, and the paperwork you need to specify it and support the job through inspection.

Who this page is for

Four different jobs, four different questions.

You do not all need the same thing from us, so start with the one that sounds like you.

Painters & applicators

How much, and how long between coats

Coverage rates vary significantly between smooth and rough-sawn wood, and the recoat windows are not the same across the three lines. Get the numbers before you quote the job, not after.

Builders & general contractors

Scheduling around the weather

Our sheets ask for 5 °C to 25 °C and around 50% relative humidity. If your window is tight or the elevation is large, pre-finished cladding means you are not waiting on the weather.

Architects & specifiers

Specification support

VOC content, coating type, substrates and maintenance intervals, plus ready-to-edit specification wording for MasterFormat Section 09 93 00, Staining and Transparent Finishing.

Dealers & retailers

Carrying the line

We are selective about where BRODA sits on a shelf, because it needs someone behind the counter who can answer a question about it. Tell us about your store and your market.

Data sheets & SDS

Current technical data sheets and safety data sheets for every product, side by side in one table.

Samples on your own wood

Pint samples, $10 each. Species and mill finish change the colour more than most people expect, so test on the actual boards.

Order samples →

Take-off and quantities

Coverage worked out per coat for decks, siding, fences and concrete, in metric or imperial, with the rough-sawn allowance built in.

Open calculator →

Factory-finished wood

Cladding, panelling and soffits factory finished before delivery through our sister company Crisp Wood Co, so the finish is applied under controlled conditions rather than on site.

Working with us

How a project usually goes.

STEP 1

Tell us the substrate

Species, whether it is smooth or rough sawn, new or weathered, and what is on it now. That decides most of the rest.

STEP 2

Sample the real boards

Pints at $10. Coat an offcut from the actual delivery, not a chip card, and look at it dry and outside.

STEP 3

Confirm quantities

Run the take-off through the calculator per coat, then add for railings.

STEP 4

Order through a dealer or direct

Larger orders and colours outside the standard range are worth a phone call before you place them.

Talk to a person

Send us the job and we’ll tell you what we’d use.

Photos of the substrate, the elevation area, and your timeline are enough for us to give you a schedule and a quantity.
