Robbie 0 1347
With Christmas fast approaching, it's a great time to ensure your kitchen space is in order. Even if there's no upcoming occasion, it's worthwhile sorting out your kitchen surfaces.Why Choose a Wooden Worktop?Many people dont realise why it's more cost-effective to have an oak worktop over a laminate one. First of all, oak worktops look much better than laminated alternatives but most importantly, when your oak wood worktop gets damaged due to general wear and tear, you can sand it down and re-finish it with oil to give it a new lease of life. This makes oak worktops a cheaper alternative in the long rung due to the durable properties of an oiled wooden worktop. This is the process we will be covering in today's blog!Sanding Your WorktopWooden worktop surfaces can be prepared pre-sanding to make it easier to work for the electric sander. Surface preparation is done with methylated spirits or with a scraper, what you use will depend on the texture of the wood you plan to work with.Sanding your worktop can be a long process if you dont have the right tools for the job, this is why in the video we used an electric surface sander instead of using hand help sandpaper. Using an electric sander makes the job faster and easier for the user by a huge margin.Check the video here:Re-finishing Your WorktopThis video will show you how to re-finish a wood worktop quickly and easily with tung oil. In this video, we will show you the process of oiling an oak worktop with tung oil.If your want to know how to re-oil a wooden worktop, then this video will show you from start to finish how to apply oil to a worktop professionally. Tung oil is the perfect solution for kitchen worktops because it is effective at protecting a surface from water damage also it's food safe. This process is the one that has to be done secondly after doing the sanding process mentioned above.When oiling your worktop, you need to know that you need to protect the surfaces surrounding the wood. Using an appropriate brush or masking tape can prevent surfaces adjacent to wooden worktops such as sinks, walls and ovens.Check the video here:If this content helped make sure to go check out our Youtube Channels...

30 May Why Your Lawn Needs to be Scarified
Robbie 0 1698
MAKITA UV3600 ELECTRIC LAWN SCARIFIER 1800W 240V is a useful tool used to pull thatch out of your lawn to allow for better airflow to the soil, making your grass grow healthier.Why does your lawn need to be Scarified?Scarification is a process that should be carried out at least once a year to remove any organic material such as thatch, moss and any unattractive laterally growing grass. This process helps the remaining grass boost in growth due to the removed thatch that was blocking moisture and nutrients from getting to the roots of the grass.Because Scarification only needs to be done twice a year maximum most people will not see it necessary to buy one unless the person in question is a gardening enthusiast with a large lawn or if they are a professional landscaper. This is where Frank Key Tool Hire comes into play, we can offer customers a day of hire on a quality scarifier for a fraction of the cost price of the item.When Should I be Scarifying my lawn?The best point to do this job is the springtime because even if the process damages your lawn in the short term it will almost always bounce back stronger and healthier than ever overtime if this process is done correctly. Check out the video to see how to use the equipment and also how to correctly do the job:Remember to Subscribe to the YouTube Channel...
