Restoring a wooden balcony at Isbjerget
A grey, stained wooden balcony regained its warm glow in less than a day.
A wooden balcony of approx. 8 m² (approx. 5-11) at Isbjerget in Aarhus Ø had become grey and stained from exposure to wind, weather and seawater. Øens HåndværkerCentral carried out a gentle algae treatment and manual cleaning without pressure washing. The wood became noticeably lighter, dark stains were greatly reduced, and the balcony was safe and inviting to use again.

Vores altan var blevet grå og slidt af vind og vejr. Efter slibningen har træet fået sin varme glød tilbage, og den ser virkelig flot ud igen!Sanne J., Isbjerget, Aarhus Ø
