Prefinished for Extra Protection

For optimum performance, Western Red Cedar Lumber Association recommends that western red cedar is preprimed or prefinished prior to job site delivery.

Factory priming is performed in an industrial setting where a machine applies a coating to all six sides of each board. The coated boards are then dried prior to shipment to the job sites.

Factory finishing takes it a step further-with the additional application of one or two topcoats of acrylic latex paint, solid stains, or natural stains.

The orocess ensures: application of a uniform coating at the recommended coverage to all six surfaces of every piece a controlled environment to permit proper curing of the finish protection for the wood from exposure to sunlight and surface contamination by mildew and dirt

. elimination of lap marks, streaks and shrink lines after installation ability to install products at any time of the year typically, inclusion of a coating warranty.
