Considerations

This patina siding product has a unique living finish.
Designed to weather from pigmented silver to faded silver over time.
Due to its composition, the factory silver stain can be uneven in color and tone, and can appear blotchy.
Soot residue, caking, and erosion is unavoidable and will cause the finish to blemish, especially along board edges. This is a natural characteristic of this product.

Patina scale

Patina Scale: 9

The Patina Scale has been developed by Nakamoto Forestry to approximate how its products will weather over time—from 0 (“less patina/more color longevity”) to 10 (“less color longevity/more patina”). However, every product weathers at a different rate due to local conditions, and the Patina Scale is intended as general guidance only, and is solely for informational purposes. Nakamoto Forestry makes no guarantees, representations, or warranties, express or implied, regarding the appearance or color longevity of its products after installation.

Finish details

Weathering Stain Silver

Our silver weathering stain is based on the Cape Cod gray aesthetic and is for exterior applications only. It is designed to be a maintenance-free living finish that develops a bleached coastal patina over time. The stain has two components. One is the initial silver pigment designed to wash off. The second is a mineral that reacts with atmospheric moisture and tannic acid in the wood, to develop a bleached silver color.
