The Cedar People Way
Cedar Oiling,
Protect your cedar from drying out and fading in New Zealand's harsh, demanding weather. Our thoughtful oiling process deeply nourishes the wood to repel moisture, prevent cracking, and restore its vibrant natural look.
Cedar is a natural, durable timber, but without regular maintenance it will gradually fade, dry out and weather in New Zealand’s demanding climate. Applying a high-quality wood oil nourishes and protects the timber by penetrating below the surface, helping to repel moisture, reduce UV damage, minimise cracking and preserve its natural beauty. Regular maintenance not only keeps your cedar looking its best but also extends its lifespan and helps protect your investment.

The Cedar People Way
Inspect
We assess your timber for fading, dryness, and weathering to see what it needs.
Clean
We remove dirt, mould, and buildup so the timber can properly absorb the oil.
Dry
The clean wood must dry completely so the oil penetrates evenly and deep.
Oil
We coat the surface with high-quality oil to nourish and protect the timber from within.
Restore
The oil repels moisture, stops UV damage, and brings back the natural cedar look.
Refine
We buff away any excess oil for a perfectly clean, even, natural finish.
Maintain
Regular re-oiling extends your timber's lifespan in New Zealand’s tough climate.
