Nawkaw: The name behind Australia’s most trusted concrete and masonry finishes

For over 28 years, Nawkaw has set the standard in masonry staining across Australia. While others may try to replicate what we do, no one matches our combination of scientific innovation and skilled craftsmanship in brick and concrete staining.

We use only the highest-quality products, formulated in house to ensure long-lasting protection against harsh weather conditions. What’s more, our certified stain technicians are trained in every aspect of application, including colour matching, complex surface work, and finishing techniques.
