FINISHING SIDING | NATURAL FINISH

A natural-tone, semi-transparent stain on this board-and-batten siding protects the wood yet reveals the innate beauty of cedar's grain and texture.
Water-Repellents
Water-repellents and water-repellent preservatives may be applied to cedar used above ground. These formulations reduce water absorption in the short term. The addition of a fungicide that inhibits the growth of mildew and decay fungi will further increase wood's durability.

A low wax content water-repellent preservative applied to newly-milled cedar as a single-coat pre-treatment before painting may help reduce discoloration caused by bleeding of water-soluble extractives.
