    Default To Sikkens or not to Sikkens? Treatment for my cedar windows

    Hi Everyone
    I have a number of timber windows at home, approx 11 years old. They were originally treated with Sikkens Cetol & Filter 7. I have re-done them a few times, but not as often as I should have.

    I am getting motivated to do them when the weather cools down a bit and wondered if there is a better/cheaper product available now.

    I only ask this as we have a couple of timber seats in front of work that the guys have coated with Cabots deck stain and they look great for the longest time. Makes me wonder if I should start using this on my windows.

    Your thoughts?

    Ash

    I've had two lots of WR Cedar windows painted with Sikkens and found it's good for about a year. Next time I'll be using a good quality clear decking finish. You're on the right track, Ash.

    No idea, Ash. Your experience with Cabot's is the best recommendation I have so far. However I wouldn't buy a stain. I suspect most decking finishes have pretty good UV resistance and durability. They can't be much worse than Sikkens.
