FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does Cedar Protector change the color of the wood?
   No, the product is 100% transparent and does not yellow; it retains the natural appearance of the wood.
2. Can it be used on all types of wood?
   Yes, it is suitable for most exterior woods, especially softwoods (cedar, Douglas fir, pine, etc.). For very dense or tropical woods, it is recommended to do a test.
3. Is it a saturator or a varnish?
   Cedar Protector is neither a saturator nor a varnish. It is a penetrating, water-repellent protector that allows the wood to breathe.
4. Does it protect against greying?
   Yes, thanks to its UV filter, it significantly slows down natural discoloration.
5. Can I use it on a wooden deck?
   The product can be used on horizontal surfaces, but it performs best on vertical cladding. For terraces, a specific saturator is often recommended.
6. Is it necessary to sand before application?
   Not always. Cleaning or removing the graying may be enough. However, light sanding improves penetration on planed wood.
7. Is the product microporous?
   Yes, it allows the wood to breathe while protecting it from moisture.
8. When should the application be renewed?
   Generally, a touch-up every 2–3 years is sufficient, depending on exposure.
9. Can you paint or saturate over it?
   Yes, but you have to let the wood neutralize the protection or sand it lightly before any other finishing.
