Finishing

Although redwood takes and holds finishes better than other woods, redwood requires no finishes on surfaces away from grease, moisture and dirt, as on ceilings and accent panels. Left unfinished, the paneling will gradually darken in color.

To protect and minimize color change, use a dull or satin lacouer. or a clear sealer. A number of clear sealers are available, are economical, and are easy to apply.

In areas subject to soiling and moisture such as kitchens and bathrooms, apply lacquer or clear sealer. For a washable finish, apply one or two coats of a flat or semi-gloss varnish.

lf other color hues or tones are desired, penetrating stains are recommended. Any color or hue can be achieved. To help retain the initial color, mix small amount of properly colored pigment qomi-trancnaronl clain inin tho nloar qoaler
