Frequently Asked Questions

What types of wood finishes do you sell?

We stock scratch covers and touch-up pens, beeswax filler sticks, interior timber stains, polyurethane varnishes, exterior clear coatings, decking oils, linseed oils, and floor polish. Brands include Cabot's, Gilly's, Diggers, Miller (Aussie Furniture Care), and Duramax.

What is the best finish for timber floors?

For interior timber floors, Cabot's Cabothane Clear polyurethane varnish in gloss or satin provides a hard-wearing, durable finish. For maintenance and shine restoration, Gilly's Floor Polish (200ml) is a quick and easy option. For scratches and surface marks, Gilly's Scratch Cover or Miller Scratch Fix touch-up pens can conceal damage without refinishing.

What decking oil do you recommend for outdoor timber decks?

We stock Cabot's Natural Decking Oil (1L) and Cabot's Aquadeck Natural Decking Oil (4L). Both are designed to nourish, protect, and restore timber decks exposed to Australian sun, rain, and foot traffic. The 4L Aquadeck is a water-based formula suited to larger deck areas.

What is linseed oil used for on timber?

Linseed oil is used to condition, preserve, and protect bare and weathered timber. It penetrates the wood grain to restore flexibility and moisture resistance, making it ideal for tool handles, exterior joinery, fences, and raw timber. Diggers Anti-Mould Linseed Oil also provides protection against mould and mildew in damp conditions.

Do you sell products for hiding scratches on timber furniture?

Yes. We stock Gilly's Scratch Cover liquid (100ml) for furniture and floors, Miller Scratch Fix touch-up pens in light brown, medium brown, and dark brown, Duramax furniture repair marker pens (3-pack), and Gilly's Beeswax Filler Sticks for filling cracks and small holes in timber surfaces.

Goldair 1200W radiant heater

This is an excellent heater. It’s practical, lightweight, easy to use and gives instant warmth as well as being affordable. The level of heat can be adjusted to one, two or all three bars. I highly recommended it. Fan from Double Bay Hardware was incredibly helpful and accomodating. Wonderful customer service. Cheers, Evelin.

Have only used 1, the other is spare as it is difficult to find these globes & the other one will probably blow any day now as they are connected to the same switch. Works as expected.

I ordered two small light bulbs on line as nobody seemed to stock the ones I needed..
They arrived in a day!
It is so gratifying to find a hardware store that genuinely cares about its customers.
I am also glad to see so many positive reviews.
I live in Crows Nest but I will now make a trip to Double Bay just to check these guys out.
I noticed a review by a customer saying that the prices are too high and to go to Rose Bay Bunnings.
O.K. go to Bunnings and try and get some really knowledgeable advice.
Chances are YOU WON'T!
I would rather deal with genuine people in this world who KNOW what they are talking about and that goes for ALL businesses..
