Hi guys, I have installed wood cladding on my dormer window and now want to treat it. It is planed tantalised timber and I want grey colour. Can anyone advise me on beat way to treat and stain my cladding. I wanted ducks back silver copse by Cuprinol but it's for rough sawn timber only
Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain Patina 905, Quartz Grey 907 or Basalt Grey 903,plus 186 RAL and 1950 NCS colour tones, so you should find the grey you want out of hundreds of colours, it's a microporous satin finish. EDIT: He we go. http://www.osmouk.com/sitechaptern.cfm?bookid=Products&chapter=82&page=263 http://www.e-paint.co.uk/RAL_Colourchart.asp http://www.e-paint.co.uk/NCS_1950_colour_chart.asp
You will have to let the tanalized timber weather for maybe up to 6 months prior to staining otherwise the stain/paint will not adhere leading to early failure.
Thanks I like the 905 patina Isn't stocked near me though so would need to order. That's not good, I didn't fancy waiting and having spruce coloured timber on my house
Cheapest I could find for grey upvc was £20 A strip (most places were £27+) With corner trim it was going to be around £700 for my dormer. 22mm cladding was a fraction of the price Also I much prefer wood. Like most things original is better
Would have gone for Western Red Cedar Cladding, has better durability & longer lifespan than spruce. Also composite timber cladding is becoming popular, it's not plastic, has a lifespan of 50 years or so.
Agreed but I if looked after I should get many years out of it. It again was easier to get and half the price. Although better I don't think cedar is twice as good.
