Transitional Coatings

When left uncoated and exposed to the elements, all timber will eventually weather to a silver-grey colour. How quickly and evenly timber weathers is dependent on a variety of factors, including location, aspect and building design, for example, cladding which is sheltered from the elements will take longer to weather, and may result in an uneven or patchy appearance over time. This can take years to even out and in some cases the timber may never weather evenly.

Product Details

A Transitional (or 'pre-weathered') coating eliminates this problem, providing a consistent, weathered tone within a fraction of the time that it would take to occur naturally. This treatment eliminates differential weathering and offers a quick transition from ‘new-look’ timber, to a natural surface that appears to have been installed for several years.

Depending on the species, the weathering process can cause the surface of the timber to appear ‘patchy’, with tannin build-up and leaching causing dark watermarks. These can be unsightly for those that are looking for a more refined, less-traditional aesthetic, so a dark transitional coating can be used to conceal the marks.
