Finishing and Maintenance
Discover how to finish and maintain your Hemlock timbers 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
Hemlock timbers contain no pitch or resins and can take most stains and finishes well. For best results, allow the product to acclimatize to the environment where it will be installed to avoid unwanted shrinkage or expansion, and coat all six sides before installation..
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.
