Deck oiling at Isbjerget, Aarhus Ø
A grey and lifeless wooden balcony regained its warm, deep glow in just a couple of days.
A wooden balcony of approx. 12 m² (range approx. 8-16 m²) at Isbjerget in Aarhus Ø had become sun-bleached, grey and lightly covered in algae. Øens HåndværkerCentral applied a mild algae treatment, gently cleaned the surface without pressure washing, then oiled it. In 1-2 days, the wood had a warm, saturated finish and a renewed sense of quality.

The task
The balcony showed its age, with a dull, sun-bleached appearance, light algae growth and uneven colour. The wood looked dry and lifeless. The customer wanted to bring the surface back to life without sanding.
The solution
- Mild algae treatment with a wood-friendly cleaning agent
- Rinsing and light washing without pressure washing
- Treatment without sanding, with care to protect the wood and preserve its lifespan
- A final coat of oil to saturate the wood and improve its appearance
The result
After treatment, the wood looks clean, even and refreshed. Oiling gave the surface a rich, deep glow and a quality finish while preserving the natural grain.
Efter oliering af vores træterrasse står træet med en smuk, dyb glød og en finish, der oser af kvalitet. Øens Håndværker Central arbejdede effektivt og med øje for detaljen. Servicen var lige så skarp som resultatet, vi kunne ikke være mere tilfredse.Sanne K., Isbjerget, Aarhus Ø
