The Cedar People Difference in Beachlands
Years of harsh sun had left this Rotorua home’s cedar thirsty, faded, and weathered. Beneath the dry surface, the timber was still solid. It just needed the right care to bring out its natural beauty.
Rotorua Cedar Restored
We started with a full-property soft wash, gently clearing away built-up grime from roofline to ground. Once prepped, we deeply nourished the cladding with two heavy applications of rich timber oil, giving it plenty of time to soak deep into the grain. Sealed off with a fresh coat on the decks, this home is completely revived, glowing with warmth, and built to withstand the elements once again.
New Homeowner’s Fresh Look
This home had not received regular maintenance on its cedar cladding, and over time the timber had begun to show clear signs of weathering, including cupping and warping. The previous coating had faded significantly, leaving the cedar exposed to the elements. After recently purchasing the property and noticing our team working in the neighbourhood, the new homeowner recognised the need for maintenance and reached out to Cedar People.
A thorough soft wash removed all dirt, mould, and surface contaminants, providing a clean foundation for a fresh recoat of penetrating cedar oil. With the new finish applied, the cedar cladding now looks revitalised, showcasing its natural beauty and receiving the protection it needs to withstand New Zealand’s climate.
From Faded to Flawless
Living close to the ocean has its perks, but it can be tough on timber. On this architecturally designed and award-winning home, some cedar cladding areas had started showing signs of wear. The salt air, wind, and fine sand had begun to take a toll, causing the original tint to lift and exposing the wood beneath.
What it needed wasn’t a full overhaul - just a little TLC.
CedarPeople stepped in with a careful, refreshing treatment using high-quality Cedar oil, designed to nourish and protect the timber from the coastal elements. The result? A clean, revived finish enhances the natural beauty of the cedar and strengthens its resilience for years to come.
Sometimes all it takes is a light touch to make a big difference
Fresh Stain, Fresh Look
This Bucklands Beach home recently received a quick cedar refresh with impressive results. The homeowners wanted a solution that would update the look of their cladding while providing long-lasting protection. With a high-quality stain, the cedar now has renewed depth, richer colour, and the durability to withstand the elements. This simple upgrade not only enhances the appearances but also offers peace of mind, knowing the timber is protected for years to come.
From Weathered to Wonderful
This Pukekohe home required attention to its cedar cladding, which had begun to show clear signs of weathering. The previous coating had started to fade and lose its protective qualities, leaving the timber looking tired and uneven in colour.
To restore both the appearance and durability of the exterior, the cedar was given a fresh recoat using a high-quality penetrating cedar oil. This treatment revitalised the natural tones of the timber, enhanced its grain, and provided essential protection against UV exposure and moisture. With the new oil finish, the home’s exterior now looks refreshed and is better equipped to withstand New Zealand’s climate for years to come.
