Do I have to use a protective finish on my Glu-Lam-Log products?
Absolutely! No matter how much care we take in manufacturing our house log and siding products, their long-term appearance and performance depend largely on how well you take care of them. No matter what climate you live in, nature will put a beating on wood products. Proper application and maintenance of a quality finish will keep your home looking great for years.
How often will I have to do maintenance?
A good question, that's almost impossible to answer. It depends on the quality of the finish you use, how well you apply it, and your specific environmental conditions. Sun and UV radiation are the main enemies of wood. You'll find that shaded areas will require less frequent maintenance than areas exposed to full sun.
