Testing: Always carry out a test patch in an inconspicuous area first to ensure the final colour and finish meet your requirements, as the result can vary depending on the age and type of timber.

Q: Will this treatment hide the wood grain?
A: No. This is an oil/spirit-based treatment that leaves a transparent/translucent finish. It is specifically designed to allow the natural texture and grain of the wood to remain visible.
Q: Is this only for Cedar wood?
A: While named “Cedar Wood Treatment,” it is a general-purpose sealer suitable for various outdoor treated timber structures such as sheds, fences, trellises, pergolas, and gazebos.
Q: Does it provide UV protection?
A: Yes. The formula contains pigments with high UV fade resistance, which helps protect the timber from sun damage and prevents the wood from greying over time.
Q: Can I use this on smooth planed timber?
A: Yes, it is suitable for both rough-sawn and smooth timber. However, note that smooth timber will typically offer higher coverage (closer to 10m² per litre) because it is less absorbent than rough-sawn wood.
Q: Does it leave a “plastic” look?
A: No. Because it is oil/spirit-based, it penetrates deep into the wood fibres rather than sitting on top like a thick paint, resulting in a more natural look.
