How has the Kiwi winter treated your cladding?
A few signs it might be ready for some attention:

* Fading or silvering
* Watermarks or black mould
* Dry, splitting or cupping timber
* Water no longer beading on the surface
*
If you’re spotting any of these, now’s a good time to get your timber sorted before summer.

We love a good before and after — and this one’s pretty hard to beat.

Sitting exposed to the extremes of the Wānaka climate, this charred timber cladding had taken the full force of the elements, with significant weathering across the exterior.

Previously finished in another coating system, CUTEK® worked closely with the owner to understand what the timber needed in such a demanding environment. The cladding was prepared and recoated with CUTEK® in Double Strength Punga Colourtone, restoring a rich, consistent tone while providing ongoing protection and moisture management for the timber.

A pretty impressive transformation. Swipe for the before →

Vertical pine cladding from Genia, finished in CUTEK® Burnt Ash Colourtone.

The deep, charred tones highlight the natural grain of the pine, adding depth and definition to the exterior while letting the character of the timber come through.

A beautiful example of how the right timber, profile and finish can completely shape a building’s exterior.

We’re coming into our busy season here at CUTEK®, as the warmer weather gives us better conditions for applying our oils.

If your deck is looking a little worse for wear after winter, now’s a good time to get the prep underway, cleaning off mould, dirt and anything else that’s built up over the wetter months.

Then, as the spring weather improves and we get some good warm, dry days, your timber is ready to coat.
All of our timber prep products are readily available at all major hardware stores.

Hill Plains House.

Oversized Blackbutt cladding gives this home its strong, natural exterior – but with wider boards comes a greater risk of movement, cupping and warping.

CUTEK® Extreme CD50 was specified to help improve dimensional stability and protect the timber from within, reducing the risk of cupping, warping and splitting while allowing the natural character of the Blackbutt to remain the hero.

A beautiful example of material choice and timber protection working hand in hand.

Product: Extreme CD50
Colour: Clear

Split House - A Coastal Home

CUTEK® Extreme CD50 helps to alleviate the challenging conditions facing timber on coastal properties. The intense heat, strong-salt winds and high humidity is a recipe for deteriorating and rotting wood.

Split House utilised CUTEK® Extreme CD50 to combat these conditions and protect the beauty of their chosen timber.

Product: CUTEK® Extreme CD50
Colourtone: Clear
Application: Exterior Timber Cladding, Battening and Beams
Materials: Silvertop Ash

If mould feels like it’s everywhere right now, you’re not imagining it. A damp NZ winter will do that.

CUTEK® Mould Cleaner is an easy way to tackle mould on timber, killing and removing it while lightly brightening the surface at the same time.

It’s great for cladding, decks and other exterior timber where mould has started to creep in over winter — and helps prep the surface if you’re planning a fresh coat of CUTEK® Extreme CD50 once the weather plays ball.

A good one to have on hand at this time of year.
