The next generation in wood finish

A log home is more than just a home - it represents a unique lifestyle.  That is why we at Timber Edge Products are thoroughly committed to providing the very best in wood finishing products. While the wood finish you choose should look beautiful, we believe it should also provide maximum protection, not just for your new home but for the environment as well.

What does Nature's Edge provide?

• Longevity:  Nature's Edge Wood Finish is optimized to deliver our penetrating natural oil alkyd resin into the wood with non-polluting water as our solvent.  The fact that our waterborne oil penetrates into the wood instead of forming a film on the surface is vital to both protection and longevity.  When applied and maintained properly Nature's Edge will preserve and protect the beauty of wood from the assault of sunlight, wind and water.  All exterior wood finishes require maintenance and none can be expected to last forever without it. While the interval between maintenance coats is highly dependent upon your environmental conditions, we and many others strongly believe that Nature's Edge is the preferred choice for long term wood protection.

• Environmentally Friendly:  Nature's Edge Wood Finish avoids damage to the environment while significantly improving performance.  Our natural alkyd resin is produced from renewable resources making this a truly green and environmentally responsible technology.  With Nature's Edge you can be certain you have purchased a finish that naturally compliments and protects your wood, and by design avoids damage to the environment at large.
   
• Low VOCs:  Our renewable natural oil formula is optimized to provide wood penetration and performance at extraordinarily low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).  VOCs are pollutants emitted into the atmosphere principally from the high levels of solvents found in the conventional solvent borne and water based stains on the market today.  At a VOC level of 95 grams/liter, Nature's Edge is among the greenest wood finishes available anywhere, far exceeding both the VOC regulations for today and well into the future.

• Mildecide Protection:  Powerful fungicide, mold and mildecide inhibitors have been added to significantly reduce the likelihood of airborne intruders interfering with your family's health.

Beautiful Look:  Our transparent series has been designed to bring out the natural highlights of wood by enhancing wood grain, not concealing it.   However, if you desire the addition of stronger color - be it as an accent or as the main envelope color - there is our translucent series.  With a great number of inspiring colors to choose from in each series, regardless of your preference for a traditional or contemporary look, your log home is sure to stand out from the rest.

• Moisture Content:  A major benefit of waterborne technology is that our finishes can be applied to wood containing as much as 25% moisture content.  You can, therefore, apply our finishes as a part of the home's building process, as opposed to having to wait months, and sometimes years, to finish it.

• Temperature Range:  Our wood finish products can be applied in temperatures ranging from 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.  This wide temperature range significantly extends the application season, which could mean the difference between finishing your home on time or having to wait until the next season.  It is very important to apply any wood finish within the manufacturer's recommended temperature range; otherwise, the finish may fail prematurely.

• Application and Clean up:  Nature's Edge Wood Finish can be applied with an airless sprayer, brush or roller.  Clean up is a snap - just rinse with soap and water.
