A well needed makeover. We washed the cedar weatherboards and the wooden joinery on this beautiful Hamilton home, taking the cedar back to its natural state and ready for coating.
Cedar weatherboard maintenance is regularly undertaken by our client and we continued their maintenance plan with fresh coats of Resene Woodsman Bleached Cedar.
This client loves the natural cedar look. Their coating selection was to choose a Drydens clear wood oil. Given the absence of a colourtone, the oil will continue to penetrate the cedar weatherboards, allowing the natural UV exposure to weather the look of the cedar and silver the boards naturally.
