Hi,
some parts of my house are to be clad with larch wood. I understand that it naturally turns gray over time, but I’m just an impatient person. I would like to have this gray tone on the facade from the start, instead of looking at "spotty" wood for several years.
Nowadays there are several glazes that make the wood appear in the desired color (e.g. Pullex Silverwood, or similar). These are open-pored and are supposed not to interfere with the natural aging process. So the glaze disappears again, but underneath the natural gray shows through.
That’s the theory... However, when glazing larch wood, concerns are often raised because the wood still releases resin. Therefore, my question is whether anyone has personally tried this and can report from longer-term experience?
Walking around the house and painting every few years is not really my thing, so I’d rather wait for the natural effect...
