Helpful Information
Cypress Wood
Cypress Wood
 |
Cypress is a beautiful, distinctive and durable wood that assures years of trouble-free satisfaction and its uses reflect that. In addition to rugged outdoor furniture, cypress is regularly used in building construction, posts, beams, decks, docks, porch flooring, greenhouses and siding. Because of its durability, cypress can be used in many of the same products as cedar and redwood. The reason for this durability is natural preservative oil known as "cypressine" which gives the wood resistance to insect attack and rot. |
Cypress is all but indestructible. It is a close grain wood that resists checking and warping and it is long-lasting as well as weather resistant. Cypress can be easily painted and holds paint longer than other wood. If you choose to paint this product, you should use an exterior oil-based primer (white or gray) followed by an exterior oil or latex paint of your choice. If you choose to have the product remain natural, you should apply a natural oil-based stain or preservative annually or as needed. Note: Cypress is a dense wood and the drying process may take several days depending on humidity and temperature. Small cracks called weather checking may appear in the wood. This is a natural process and will not affect the useful life of this product.
Cypress - Distressed
Our Cottage Classic products feature Southern cypress wood stained with white acrylic stain and a subtle antique finish. The finish is a Cuprinol water-based acrylic deck & rail stain that further enhances the ability of the wood to resist cracking & splitting. This finish will not crack, peel or rub off onto your clothing. This unique process of staining & finishing creates the timeless "cottage" or "distressed" look.
