Finishing

Protect and enhance the natural color of your top-grade cedar by staining it to prevent UV damage. Choose a natural, untinted stain to showcase the wood's beauty. Stain your kit before installing the windows, taking advantage of good weather conditions. Some parts may not require staining as they are not exposed to daylight.

 

Choose an oil-based stain with a UV inhibitor for cedar. Australian Timber oil is a recommended option. Apply a few coats, allowing for thorough absorption and drying before caulking the windows.
