Dreamy Results
Porter's Palm Beach Black was the perfect solution for Slow Beam.
"We had looked at some stains the builder sourced, but we weren't satisfied with them. I decided to visit the Porter's store on Gertrude Street, Fitzroy in Melbourne. I was sent home with a sample of Palm Beach Black, which we tested on some ply, and also on the ash cladding for the exterior. It was exactly what we had been looking for."

Made with UV resistant pigments, Palm Beach Black offers flexibility with where it's applied.
