I recently installed 1500 sq. ft. of red cedar under a second story exterior deck. I want to use a durable clear finish that will not crack or fade over time unlike a verathane. The surface is all outdoors, but not directly exposed to the elements, or direct sunlight, so all it really deals with is humidity and temperature changes. As it is a ceiling, it is also not subject to any wear or traffic. I am just outside Toronto in Cambridge Ontario, therefore the winters are not terribly extreme. I am hoping to enhance the grain and help the wood retain its natural beauty and not weather too severely. Which of your products would you consider best for this type of project, bearing in mind I would prefer not to have to redo it frequently.

Hi,

Seeing as the wood will not be exposed to the direct sunlight or rain/snow it is possible to keep the natural color of the wood .

We believe the Pareo Zero by Prato Verde in the Colorless would be an excellent choice. It will enhance the beauty and is very resistant.

By applying 2 coats immediately you should't need to reapply for several years.

Sample sizes are available for testing purposes.

You will need approximately 10 gallons for this project.

Hope this helps!
