Appearance: Cedar’s rich grain and texture offer a timeless complement to any architectural design, from turn-of-the-century to contemporary. Its natural colour gradations range from pale straw tones to deepest chocolate hues. It will weather to a silver grey colour over time.

Finishing: Paints, stains, varnishes, oils and waxes all work well. While Cedar can be left unfinished for a rustic wheathered look, the use of a quality finish can enhance both its good looks and its natural characteristics. Wetern Red Cedar accepts a wide range of stains in your choice of tinted transparent finishes for a natural effect, or lightly pigmented semi-transparent finishes. Consider a coating that offers good fungicide and ultraviolet shielding properties as well as additional preservatives to protect your project's youthful complexion. Varnishes and other film-forming coatings which can crack and peel are not recommended for use on Cedar.
