CUTEK has been used by manufacturing companies for a while.
Wood finishing companies producing siding, decking and Glulam rely on CUTEK to deliver a better value to the market.
PRE COATING
The general practice in Australia is to pre coat the wood in the mill or factory before sending the material to the job site. This way the wood is protected on an early stage, preventing any damage caused by exposure on the job site prior to being used.
With CUTEK the wood can be wet stacked. One coat by hand or machine and the planks of wood can be piled up without any stick. No lap marks, no dripping.
After installation the wood receives the second coat just on the exterior face of the wood.
AUTOMATED PROCESS
If you want to use a machine to do a higher volume of pre coating we have an extensive experience and can put you in contact with the right vendors around the world.
