Timber Sandblasting Services in Auckland

Timber surfaces, whether for furniture, decking, or decorative projects, are often exposed to wear, weather, and old finishes that can hide their natural beauty. Over time, this can dull the wood’s texture, colour, and character, making it less appealing for your woodworking or restoration projects.


At Auckland Sandblasting LTD, our timber sandblasting services are designed to bring out the best in your wood. Our process transforms smooth or aged timber into a textured, natural-looking surface, highlighting the grain, depth, and character that make every piece unique.

Why Choose Sandblasting for Timber?

Sandblasting timber is one of the most effective ways to prepare or enhance wood surfaces. Unlike chemical strippers or manual sanding, sandblasting:


  • Reveals the natural grain and texture of your timber, giving it a premium, rustic finish.
  • Removes old paint, stains, or surface imperfections quickly and efficiently.
  • Creates a smooth, even foundation for staining, sealing, or varnishing.
  • Restores worn or weathered timber, breathing new life into furniture, decking, or decorative features.
  • Enhances the aesthetic appeal, making timber surfaces look rich, detailed, and ready for high-quality woodworking projects.

Our Timber Sandblasting Process

At Auckland Sandblasting LTD, our timber sandblasting process is designed to be safe, precise, and highly effective, bringing out the natural beauty of every piece of wood. Before starting, we carefully assess the timber's type, age, and condition to choose the appropriate sandblasting technique and abrasive material. This ensures optimal results without damaging the wood.

Our process involves: 

  • Removing old finishes and surface buildup

    Sandblasting efficiently strips away paint, stains, varnish, or surface grime, eliminating imperfections that hand sanding or chemical treatments might miss.

  • Preserving the timber’s natural character

    Our method enhances the wood’s grain, texture, and knots while maintaining its structural integrity. Unlike aggressive sanding, sandblasting reveals the wood’s natural depth and highlights its unique patterns.


  • Creating a uniform, textured surface

    The result is a smooth yet tactile finish that is consistent across the entire surface, making it ideal for decorative projects, furniture, or architectural features.


This careful, controlled process ensures that every piece of timber is restored or prepared to its full potential, ready for use in quality woodworking projects or aesthetic displays. Whether working with softwoods, hardwoods, or reclaimed timber, we tailor our approach to bring out the best in every surface.
