Architects, conservators, consultants, and other design professionals often need to see a material in-hand before specifying it for a project. Testing, mockups, and small-scale trials before the project begins can help to plan the workflow and ensure the chosen materials will produce the desired result.
To support this work, Sage Restoration offers qualified professionals 25% off samples and small-volume quantities of select products from Allbäck, Auson, and Le Tonkinois.
The goal is simple: give you access to the materials you need to test performance, understand application, and make confident decisions on large or capital projects.
