The Federal style — sometimes called Adam style after the Scottish brothers who popularized it — shaped American homes from roughly 1780 to 1830, just after independence. Where Georgian trim is robust and Greek Revival is heavy, Federal moulding is delicate and refined: slim reeded pilasters, fine bead-and-reel detailing, oval and elliptical motifs, and crisp, narrow profiles that feel almost neoclassical-jewelry in scale.
Mason’s Mill carries 44 Federal & Adam profiles suited to early Republic townhouses, New England center-hall colonials, and Charleston single houses. They pair beautifully with our Georgian and Greek Revival profiles when layering periods on a single restoration.
SEAL-ONCE® EXOTIC with NANO GUARD™ Premium Wood Sealer deeply penetrates the surface to protect and stabilize exotic wood against weather and caustic conditions. This formula uses proprietary nano-polymers to create a long-lasting flexible breathable barrier by coating the wood fibers at the cellular level to provide protection from the inside out
Our clear, non-film forming EXOTIC with NANO GUARD™ allows rare wood species to age naturally without decay, morphing to a rich silver-gray over time. We offer a full range of semi-transparent tints that can be added to the clear formula. These tints operate as UV blockers to prevent the wood from graying while enhancing the natural grain and texture. SEAL-ONCE® EXOTIC is water-based.
