I want to stain my new timber house - I want it to silver with age
Treating timber with clear CD50 will give all the protective advantages and will allow the timber to silver naturally.

I want my house to silver, but do not like the patchy stage where it is partially silver and partially the original colour
Use CD50 with Silvertone or Smokey Grey Colourtone added - this will give an even natural looking silver colour.

I want to retain the colour it is now
Use CD50 with the Colourtone of your choice that best matches the original colour.

I want a different colour
CD50 Colourtones are available in a wide range of natural and interesting colours.

I have an older house - my timber has silvered with age/ is dirty/ mouldy - can I get it back to the original colour?
Yes - use the surface active restorative preparation, SARA-CLEAN to clean the surface and restore the natural colour.

If the timber is heavily stained with water stains, tannin stains or grease, use WAY2GO.

My house has been painted/ stained with a film forming product - can it be restored?
Yes. It is best to get a professional to do this for you - this can be a complex process, using specialised equipment and chemicals. The results can be dramatic, as warped and cupped timbers can be returned to their original profile, and the original natural colour and beauty of the wood restored.

I want to build a log house - what should I use to treat it?
CD50 and its related products AP5 and CD50-LOG have been used with great success on log homes - they are each designed for a different stage of the process. The active ingredients are carried deep into the timber where the preservative protects from deep within.

To protect your outdoor furniture, use CD50. You can either let it silver with age naturally, or to maintain an even silver colour, use CD50 and add Silvertone Colourtone.

I want it to stay the colour it is now.
Use CD50, with the Colourtone of your choice. If using a Colourtone - work with the natural colour of the timber. Decks and outdoor furniture are usually placed to receive maximum sun. Accordingly, if a Colourtone is used, the maintenance will be more frequent than that of a normal vertical house surface.

Use WAY2GO to restore your outdoor furniture to its original colour, then treat it with CD50 as above.

Can I use CD50 inside my house?
Yes, CD50 can be used inside the home safely. Where it will be exposed to splashes from spa pools, kitchens or toilets, it should be protected with WETSHIELD.

In areas where it will exposed to dirt and grim, such as doors, window sills, contact areas etc, WETSHIELD can be used as a protective coating so the surface can be wiped clean as necessary.
