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.
