RESTORER Architectural Finish System
Commercial Case Study
Brunel Commercial Interiors
Challenge
Brunel Commercial Interiors was tasked with producing a custom weathered and distressed finish
for a major hospitality project tied to the Calgary Stampede. The finish needed to be visually
consistent across many components while meeting a demanding production schedule.
Solution
The production team implemented the RESTORER Architectural Finish System. Glayde Finlayson,
Production Supervisor, noted the advantages of variable speed control, quick tool-free drum
changes, affordable drums, and efficient brush design.
Results
• More than 50 labor hours saved on a single project.
• Approximately $7,500 in labor savings (based on shop labor rates).
• The time savings helped the team complete the project as deadlines tightened.
• The end customer praised the textured doors and final appearance.
• Most importantly, after developing the approved finish sample, Glayde gave it to three different
operators, each of whom successfully reproduced the same finish—demonstrating production
repeatability rather than reliance on one artisan.
Customer Insight
“In the past, when we’ve needed a weathered and distressed look, we’ve used other brushing
machines, including Makita. We have definitely found that the RESTORER is vastly superior.”

Key Takeaway
RESTORER is more than a finishing tool. It enables commercial manufacturers to standardize
unique architectural finishes, reduce labor, improve profitability, and deliver repeatable quality
across multiple operators
