This home has a lovely covered outdoor patio with 4 skylights. The whole ceiling has a finish on it, but because of the skylight portions it gets way too hot and the finish needs frequent work. Every year it peels and causes a bunch of work to scrape, sand, and re-finish. The client wanted it to look nice and require less maintenance, so we decided to go with a stain to closely match the rest of the finish. We chose this because even in the heat of the skylights, the stain will fade over time rather than peel, so in the future less work is needed and we can keep the same look.
