Why do people choose air blasting?
You look at an old staircase, a cupboard, or wooden beams and see damaged paint, discoloration, or stubborn dirt. Sanding is time-consuming and often does not produce an even result. Moreover, the wood is easily damaged by aggressive treatment.
For air blasting, we use a fine blasting method under low pressure. This allows us to remove old paint, varnish, and stain layers without leaving deep damage in the wood. The original structure and appearance are preserved.
This technique is particularly suitable for:
- Old furniture
- Monumental buildings
- Characteristic wooden elements
- Interior and exterior joinery
- Wooden stairs and doors
Especially with older types of wood or refined woodwork, a gentle approach is essential to prevent damage.
How do we carry out air blasting?
No two types of wood react the same way. That is why we always inspect the material, the condition of the surface, and the desired appearance before we begin.
Inspection of the surface
We inspect the wood, the current finish, and any damage. Based on this, we determine the right approach.
1
Selection of blasting media and pressure level
Not every wooden surface requires the same treatment. We fully tailor the blasting medium and pressure to the type of wood and the application.
2
Careful airbrushing and finishing
During air blasting, we carefully remove old layers without damaging the wood. Afterwards, we inspect the result and prepare the surface for a new finish such as oil, varnish, or paint.
3
Follow-up inspection
After the treatment, we inspect the entire surface for an even result and neat finish. This ensures you have woodwork that will last for years to come.

What you can count on

Air blasting is much gentler than traditional sandblasting. As a result, the natural wood structure is preserved and deep damage is prevented.
Perfect for restoration
From antique furniture to old wooden beams: we help restore wooden elements to their original appearance.
Environmentally friendly working method
We work with natural blasting media and avoid aggressive chemicals where possible.
Sleek final result
After air blasting, the wood is clean, smooth, and immediately ready for further treatment or finishing.
Curious about the condition of your facade?
How much does airbrushing cost?
For air blasting, we work with a price on request. This gentle blasting technique is custom work: the surface to be treated, the type of substrate, and the nature of the contamination or paint layer determine how much time and blasting medium are required. A monumental facade, for example, requires a different approach than a concrete wall. During the free inspection, we perform a test area where necessary, so that you can see the result beforehand and know exactly what it will cost.

Frequently asked questions about air blasting
For small surfaces, you can sand or clean yourself, but with old paint, varnish, or stain layers, this is often time-consuming and difficult to achieve an even finish. Moreover, using sandpaper that is too coarse can easily damage the wood structure. Air blasting is a safe solution that preserves the wood much better.
Air blasting is suitable for both hard and soft wood types. Examples include oak, pine, spruce, and old beam structures. Because we work at low pressure, we can tailor the treatment to the type of wood and the condition of the surface.
No, not when performed correctly. Precisely because we work with a fine blasting method under low pressure, the natural wood structure is preserved. That is why air blasting is popular for the restoration of furniture, stairs, and distinctive wooden elements.
Traditional sandblasting uses higher pressure and coarser blasting media. This makes it less suitable for delicate wood. Air blasting uses a much finer technique, removing paint, varnish, and dirt without leaving deep damage.
Yes, we usually recommend that. After sandblasting, the surface is clean and untreated. By finishing the wood afterwards with oil, varnish, or paint, you protect it against moisture, dirt, and discoloration.
We airbrush furniture, stairs, doors, wooden beams, kitchens, shutters, tables, chairs, and interior or exterior joinery, among other things. Both private individuals and businesses are welcome.
