Cedar Seal, a clear "transparent" premium grade exterior waterborne stain that seals and protects cedar against weather and sun damage.

Newly installed cedar shingle siding and cedar shake roofing is a beautiful piece of workmanship to look at. If only it could stay that way. It can but it takes some work. If you just installed or had cedar installed "seal it" before the water gets into the wood and the mold spores start growing. Mold will start growing after the first rain and within 2 years the cedar will be all spotted with mold. On some sides of the house (north) it may be covered in mold. A single coat of Cedar Seal will give you 5 years of protection and you can retain that "just installed" look.

If you happen to have older cedar, give it a good cleaning with Cedar Wash then apply Cedar Seal and keep it looking clean.

After Cedar Seal is applied it dries clear (transparent) so that you can still see the beautiful cedar. Cedar Seal does have a slight tint that actually enhances the look of the cedar. The tint provide UV protection from the suns damaging rays as it is the suns rays that "gray" the wood.

Cedar Seal coats the wood not allowing water to enter the wood but still enabling the wood to breath. The key is not letting the water enter the wood from the exposed side. If water can't enter the wood then moss and mold can't grow. A thick coat of moss will rot a hole in your roof. Cedar Seal has mold inhibitors in the stain that will prevent mold growth.

Cedar Seal provides the 3 biggest factors that a good exterior stain should provide.

    1. Provides UV Protection
    2. Repels Water
    3. Resists mold growth

Cedar Seal is an environmentally friendly solution:

    • It has no Odor
    • It has low VOC's
    • it is water based

Cedar Seal is easy to apply. Just put it in a pump sprayer and spray the cedar. No painting, no rolling, no back brushing, eliminating hours of application time. Painting skills are not necessary to be able to apply this cedar sealer. Clean up is easy, just soap and hot water.

Another benefit of using Cedar Seal is when it comes time for another coat of stain, there is no sanding, no scraping. If you don't let it go too long before recoating you can just spray right over the last coat. If it did let it go a little too long just quickly clean the shingles and spray the cedar sealer on again.

Note: With most sealers, you need at least 2 coats of wood sealer and you need to re-coat every year. Our wood sealers that we are producing are made from the best possible ingredients and at maximum strength thus prolonging the life of the protection.


Application Directions:

    1. If the cedar is not new then a complete cleaning is needed prior to applying the Cedar Seal. We at Wash Safe Canada manufacture a product called Cedar Wash, which is an Eco-safe cleaning solution the will remove all mold spores and organic debris. The Cedar Wash also removes the microscopic outer layer of dead wood and leaves a fresh layer of beautiful cedar (cleaners like bleach will not remove that layer of wood). Cedar Wash is the perfect preparation for Cedar Seal. Read about Cedar Wash here.
    2. Allow 48 hours to dry.
    3. Apply Cedar Seal, it can be brushed, rolled or sprayed, spraying being the easiest. Apply 1 liberal coat, always apply from the top down.

Cedar Seal will provide 5 years of protection, however, we recommend not pushing it right to the 5 year mark to reapply, rather reapply on the 4th year.

Coverage: each gallon will cover 200-300sq ft depending on the slope, age of wood and how dry the wood is. Newly applied cedar will yield greater coverage, the older and drier the wood the more product will be needed.

Cedar Seal Testimonials

Sam commented on April 21, 2011.
I make home made cedar benches, I told John I'd test this new product and give it a professional review.It goes on smooth and easy, I brushed it, it did not leave brush marks and dried evenly, when the bench dried I sat on it for my real test and when i got up my pants did NOT stick to the bench. You have a winner here and a new customer congratulations on your new product.

Coverage was not 250 sq/ft closer to 200 sq/ft but that's my only complaint,I sprayed my entire roof by myself in one weekend, it goes on fast, just spray and go. The drip at the bottom of the shakes dried right up they didn't harden like tear drops like most sealers do. The "tint" they say it has is just enough. Our roof looks impressive, I sent pictures too maybe they can post those. you can't go wrong with this Cedar Seal and I'm not an easy guy to impress.

Dan commented on March 29, 2011.
I told you I would review this when I bought it. I'm happy to say that the Cedar Seal lived up to the hype. As a contractor I always try new products on my own home first before I risk damaging a customers home. Living in the Hamptons cedar shingle siding is very popular, most every beach home has some cedar. My home is now clean, sealed and looking beautiful. The homes in our area all need to be cleaned and sealed, it's going to be a busy summer. For you contractors reading this review, this product is simple use and the finished look is just what I hoped for. I highly recommend it.
