Product Range:
Fisher Coating produces pre-finished wood and fiber cement systems used for siding, soffits, paneling, decking, trim, and architectural accents. Their wood product lines include Western Red Cedar systems, thermally modified wood, engineered wood solutions, and specialty collections such as burnt wood finishes. Their fiber cement offerings include pre-stained systems designed for products like James Hardie panels, offering wood-look aesthetics with lower maintenance requirements.
Design Philosophy:
The company focuses on enhancing natural materials through controlled, factory-applied finishes that improve durability, consistency, and aesthetic performance. Rather than applying stain on-site, Fisher shifts the process into a controlled environment, ensuring uniform colour, improved weather resistance, and reduced installation variability. Their approach emphasizes material authenticity while improving long-term performance in demanding climates.
Customization:
Fisher offers extensive customization across colour, opacity, finish type, and substrate. Their semi-transparent and solid coating systems can be tailored to project-specific design requirements, allowing architects and designers to achieve precise visual outcomes across wood and fiber cement products. Custom pre-finishing services also support unique architectural specifications and non-standard materials.
Manufacturing:
Fisher Coating operates a dedicated pre-finishing facility in Squamish, British Columbia, using automated application systems to coat wood and fiber cement products in controlled factory conditions. This process ensures consistent application quality, reduced waste, and improved durability compared to field-applied finishes.
Performance & Systems:
Their coating systems are designed for exterior exposure in demanding climates, including high UV, moisture, and freeze-thaw conditions common in coastal and mountainous regions. Products include standard protective stains as well as Class A fire-rated coating systems that maintain wood aesthetics while meeting enhanced fire performance requirements for certain building applications.
Sustainability & Approach:
By pre-finishing materials in a controlled environment, Fisher reduces on-site waste, improves material longevity, and supports more efficient installation workflows. Their systems are designed to extend the service life of cladding materials while minimizing rework and maintenance over time, aligning with broader goals of durable and resource-efficient building envelopes.
