Cedar and redwood have a warm glowing appearance with decorative straight grains. They contain natural chemicals that are resistant to insects and decay. Unlike treated lumber, these chemicals will wash out of the wood over an extended period of time. To prolong the life of the material, a high quality sealant should be applied to the entire exterior surface of the deck. Exposure to the sun's rays will cause the wood to fade to a silver gray color. A high quality sealant with UV protectants can be applied to help preserve the wood's natural beauty and slow the graying process. Cedar and Redwood can also be painted.
