stain style

Avondale, Auckland

Food with style, that’s what Avondale College students get when they visit their canteen. Typically canteens are neutral in colour, sometimes with a single lick of colour, but not this one.

Resene Colorwood interior wood stain in hues of Resene Clementine (clean orange), Resene Punch (tropical orange) and Resene Tabasco (orange red) has been applied liberally to designated sections of interior timber then wiped off within two minutes, to give this striking geometric effect.

The Resene Colorwood stain is semi-transparent allowing the natural grain of the timber to show through. The stains were applied on site and in situ which required some skill ensuring correct negative detail between sheets and careful product application. Once the stains were dry, the complete stained area was finished in Resene Uracryl 404 to provide a durable surface to protect against the inevitable wear and tear.

The overall look is impactful and uplifting, even more so on dull and dreary days when students are stuck inside.
