What is Log Home Staining?

Professional Protection for Exterior Timber

Exterior logs require protection from sunlight, moisture, and seasonal weather conditions. Without proper treatment, wood surfaces can dry out, crack, absorb moisture, and deteriorate over time.

CedarShield applies high-quality exterior stain and protective coating systems specifically formulated for log homes. These systems penetrate the wood surface to create a breathable protective barrier that helps maintain the structural stability and appearance of your home.

This section aligns with the document’s focus on UV protection, moisture resistance, and long-term performance.
