Thank you for your speedy response! I am looking for a wood cladding which will go evenly grey in a short space of time. The area I am looking to clad is north facing. Is any of this area north facing? If so, do you know how it has weathered? Also, do you know how long it has taken to weather to this colour? Many thanks.

How to treat new softwood gates and oak posts
Q

Softwood gates should be treated a minimum of once a year. This is to help prevent water/ moisture entering the gate and "blowing" the cladded panels. Once this happens, you will struggle to open and close the gate (however, given time, they will go back to correct size). As for a brand to use, for softwood gates we would recommend Sadolin. Good all round protection for water and UV. Oak posts are easier to maintain and you could treat them with the same. Sadolin do do a clear stain which maybe worth looking into. Unfortunately we use Sadolin but are not retailers for them.

Wooden floor ‘oxidising’ - will it really change colour?
Q

Hi Sass, without knowing exactly what treatment / process was applied to your floor I may not be advising you correctly.... but my understanding of a smoked effect via fuming / smoking is that it has been exposed to ammonia gas. The ammonia reacts with the natural tannins in the wood and brings out usually a greyish brown colour. Because the intensity of the reaction to the ammonia depends on the tannin content of the wood, each floor and every floorboard will react differently from the next. In a nutshell if this was the process - variation is inevitable as tannin content can vary dramatically, and it varies quite a bit even within the same log, depending on which part is used. I would have expected the final colouration to have taken effect before the flooring was delivered and if we were to produce a floor with potentially changeable colouration it would not be delivered until the final colour had been achieved as it would be similar to buying a' lucky dip floor'. If you are not happy with your floor you have every right to return it and I cannot understand why a company would refuse to do so.
