DO LOG SIDED AND TIMBER HOMES REQUIRE A LOT OF MAINTENANCE?
A white cedar log house siding or timber-crafted home is much less difficult to preserve than wood sided homes that use pine or red cedar products. White cedar does not have knots that will bleed or decay like pine products. The only protection you will need is a stain to keep our product from turning a grey color from ultra violet light. There are many good stain choices that can be used, though they will need to be renewed periodically depending on how much sun light the walls are exposed to. A quick check is to spray water on the surface and look for discoloring. If the water beads, the finish is still providing protection.
