Watkins and Cabot ...
A partnership of quality color finishing applied under the most stringent, controlled conditions.
Cabot Factory FinishTM is specifically formulated for the machine-finishing process and the application to siding prior to installation. This state-of-the-art coating provides wood and engineered wood products with maximum protection. Most commonly used for new siding, this low-lustre 100% acrylic finish is guaranteed for 15 years and is tintable to unlimited custom colors.


All six sides of the board, including the buttends, are completely covered ensuring the ultimate protection from nature's elements. The product is then brushed deep into the surface for maximum penetration and is allowed to dry thoroughly prior to leaving the factory - stabilizing the siding and preventing possible shrinkage.

exposure to water and sunlight.
