Because of the thickness of insulation going onto the existing ground floor slab we intend to expose the first floor joists to maintain a sense of height (actually around 2240 to joists). Today we cleaned up the joists with some fine grit blasting by Blast It and very fine they look too. The blasting removes the softer summer wood leaving a more textured appearance due to the raised harder winter grain.
Lovely honey colour - temptation not to paint is strong. Ramping up the reflectance with a splash of white paint will probably win though.
