Looking at your Cedar cladding, can you see;
If your house looks dull, is fading or silvering, your Cedar requires maintenance. If your Cedar has passed this point, it requires restoration.
Cedar is ‘low-maintenance’ but it’s not ‘no-maintenance’. To protect your home - your most valuable asset - and to keep it looking beautiful year-round, exposed areas should be treated at least once every two years. If you choose to leave it, problems will compound: you may need to replace the Cedar completely if cracks or splits get too wide (a costly solution to an avoidable problem)
Keep it natural or if you'd like, you can choose a stain colour. Choose from a wide selection to get just the look you want. Mimic untreated Cedar with Kauri Gum, go darker with grey Flint or black with Foundry, or go lighter with a white Damper.
Oil works like moisturiser for Cedar, deeply replenishing the natural oils extracted by the sun and keeping it protected. Depending on the condition of your Cedar, and exposure to the sun, different amounts of oil will need to be applied to different areas of the property, using several different techniques.
