Finishing & Maintenance
Discover how to finish and maintain your Western Red Cedar siding for lasting beauty and performance. Choose between letting it age to a silvery-grey patina or applying a protective stain. Remember to use galvanized or stainless steel fixtures to avoid rust marks and avoid power washing to preserve wood integrity.
Finish
Let it age naturally to a silvery-grey patina for a rustic, low-maintenance look or apply a protective stain to enhance its natural tones and extend durability. Natural aging requires minimal effort but offers less protection, while staining demands upkeep yet ensures longevity and lasting vibrancy.
Fasteners
Galvanized or stainless steel fasteners are essential to prevent rust bleeding marks that can stain the wood’s surface. Galvanized fasteners offer durability and affordability, while stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance, ensuring a clean, lasting finish.
Cleaning
Avoid power washing, as it can damage wood fibres. Instead, use mild, wood-safe cleaners or oxygen-based bleach for effective dirt and mildew removal. Rinse thoroughly to maintain the wood’s natural elegance and structural integrity.
