As an architect or builder you will be interested in that what you have carefully designed and built is being well maintained and keeping true to your original vision. This is particularly important with Cedar clad properties due to their unique maintenance requirements.
At Cedar Doctor NZ our goal is for all Cedar properties are maintained in optimal condition. We want to make the maintenance of the Cedar easier so that your clients can keep looking after their investment in the Cedar timbers the way that they should.
To that end we are willing to share with architects and builders up-to-date and knowledgeable advice about design, product choice, and maintenance considerations for Cedar clad properties.
We offer to come to your office and spend 15-20 minutes explaining to your team what we have learnt about maintaining Cedar on New Zealand buildings since 2005.
We will help you with:
- Practical design considerations
- Product specification and performance
- Re-coat or re-treatment times
- Maintenance programs
And of course, we would be interested in being referred to your past clients so that we can maintain the Cedar on the properties you have designed and built for them.
In addition to getting the shingle roof chemically cleaned to take away the dirt, mould and other contaminants that cause it to retain moisture and can lead to rot, you should apply a coat of protective wood oil.
