BRINGING EXTERIOR WOOD CLADDING BACK TO LIFE & MOORE
Weathered, raw California Redwood cladding before rehab. Most of damage was caused by prolonged UV exposure without protective coat over the wood.
Maintenance Tip:
Natural wood cladding needs to be maintained regularly. Re-applying clear, protective coat every 1-2 years will keep the wood from getting deteriorated by harmful UV rays. Skip that step for little too long and you might find your self in need of a complete rehab.
Shaded areas always hold up better than full sun exposure
After raised grain gets sanded, it is possible to bring back natural beauty of the wood
Most of wood in the picture is original & brought back to life.
