This is the answer to the question Does the fired facade board still require additional protection?
Revision 1
Wooden roofs and facades are subject to significant deterioration of the elements. Rain, hail, and ultraviolet rays contribute to surface weathering. Installation of roof overhangs, roof edge profiles and weather stripping can significantly extend the life of the surfaces. Facades that are exposed to a lot of sun require more frequent maintenance than facades in the shade of the sun. Deep charred board requires less maintenance than charred and cleaned products
It can be cleaned with a natural vinegar solution. Use a sprayer for this. Do not use an abrasive washcloth or scrubbing. Over time, small spots of weathering will begin to appear on the board. This is normal, but if there is extensive damage, you will have to replace the entire board.
Charred, brushed and stained boards should be repainted every 4 years. A new coat of stain should be applied before the wood begins to gray.
Clean the facade with water and a brush. Use natural vinegar to remove mossy growth (as described above). After cleaning the wood surface, apply a new coat of paint with a wide block brush.
