Advantages of Prestaining

Factory application is a process that assures a longer lasting and higher quality job than traditional "on site" application. The front and backs of the Cedar is coated in a factory controlled environment to provide maximum beauty and protection.
  • Factory staining costs half the amount of field staining.
  • Prestaining eliminates the problems of shrink lines, lap marks, streaking and overspray.
  • No weather delays, no waiting for painters to show up, no lost production time.
  • Every piece of wood is dried, precision milled and stained to provide long lasting beauty.
  • Coating adhesion is improved as compared to wood that is allowed to weather while waiting to be coated.
Here's what the experts say about prestaining:
"Priming or prefinishing cedar products (all sides, edges and cut ends) before it is installed, can provide extra protection and often prevent adhesion problems and premature finish failure... Prefinishing is recommended in all circumstances."

Western Wood Products Association
Technical Guide
Installation and Finishing 1992
"Backprimed wood resists absorbing moisture from the back that can cause the finish to blister and peel. It nearly eliminates cupping and extractive bleed. Some of our first backprimed bevel projects still sport their original finish and after nearly seven years still look like new."
