Tannin is the natural oil found in cedar that gives it outstanding resistance to fungal decay. It is rare in white cedar to ever see it appear, as it typically remains in the wood. It is a water soluble substance. However, tannin can appear in rare cases following intense periods of heavy rains and intense sun. Tannin in white cedar will not stain the surface, and will usually weather away within 8-12 weeks.
Sap is an inherent aspect of solid wood and seeping can sometimes occurs. Allow the sap to dry and gently remove it so as not to damage the stain. See the Maintenance Guide for all details.
The delivery time varies between 7 to 8 weeks, depending on whether it is a custom order or a stock program order.

Splintering is an inherent aspect of solid wood and can sometimes occur. Gently remove the splint and protect the siding by applying touch-up stain to the exposed wood. For more information on how to properly touch-up our siding, see our Touch-up Guide.
The right time to refinish siding depends on a number of factors: its exposure to direct sunlight and the other elements, its colour and its geographical location. To ensure the longevity of your siding, be sure to check it on a regular basis. We strongly recommend that you visually inspect your siding at least once a year to make sure there is no bare wood. We also strongly recommend that you consult our Maintenance Guide and Staining Guide for detailed information before refinish your siding.
Our Installation Guides contain all the information you need to ensure your siding is properly installed. In doubt about how your siding has been installed, please refer to a certified building expert. Please note that Maibec warranties apply only if installation standards are met.
