Dryden WoodOil colours and finishes shown here on Western Red Cedar are representative only. The colour you choose and the amount of oil applied may change the final achieved colour.
Exterior timber should be cleaned at least every 12 months. An annual soft wash and surface inspection will ensure your timber stays protected and keeps looking its best. For softwoods already coated with migrating oil, follow it up with regular applications of Dryden WoodOil, which will help reduce the excessive warping, cupping, and splitting of the timber.
Generally, timber cladding needs a re-coat every 2-3 summers with a premium solution like Dryden WoodOil. Every wood is different, and a visual inspection each year will help you choose the right maintenance schedule.
For example, homes exposed to sea spray or facings with high amounts of sun may need more frequent re-coating than the south side of the house or those in shady areas.
Keep outdoor wood looking as new as possible with regular timber maintenance. An annual wash and applying the right protective coatings as needed – normally every 2-3 years.
If you want to maintain a natural grey, weathered look, Dryden WoodOil or Oilstain can both be applied as a clear coating.
To add colour to your timber, add one of 37 shades of Dryden Colourtone+ to Dryden OilStain or WoodOil. This adds rich colours as well as added resistance to harsh UV rays.
Our Cedar Maintenance Guide has detailed instructions on how to keep cedar cladding looking its best.
