Cedar Clad Garden Office Maintenance

QUICK STORY...

One of our prospective customers eventually decided to have a local builder build a cedar clad garden office for them. I asked "Are you treating the cedar or leaving it to weather"?

She answered...

Hi Iain,

We've put 2 coats of Osmo UV protection oil on it hoping to preserve the lovely colour but we can already see that the colour is losing richness where there's constant sun (not even been THAT constant this summer!!)

We plan to re-oil it annually and hope for the best - we don't want to become slaves to it!!

So many companies say that cedar is zero maintenance - it quite clearly isn't.

If you want a truly zero maintenance exterior that will maintain it's "just installed" look for 25 years then the QCB and the QC6 are the only design in the U.K which fits the bill...

(best value garden office in the U.K...)

QCB garden office 12' x 8' with anthracite windows and merlin grey exterior walls

The upmarket QC6 garden office...

(top spec garden studio with loads of options and flexibility...)

9' x 9' (2730mm x 2730mm) garden studio used for hairdressing

This is how the cedar or pressure treated timber ends up if you don't paint or stain it regularly...

The studio is plugged in now and all working perfectly, the heating/aircon is great, very impressed and with the extra acoustic panels I have mounted the sound in their is really nice, already have had a go recording some acoustic instruments and really pleased with the result. We have also tested how loud everything sounds outside and it is pretty much inaudible, especially when you get near the house, very impressed with the sound insulation properties of the studio and we are extremely glad that we did not go down the route of getting the sound proof studio, there is no need unless your getting a live drummer in there really, which we never will.

Hi Guys

Had my office now for about 10 months and am very happy with it. The insulation in particular is outstanding.
