Just my 0.02, but a few of our clients have either fitted it, in whole or in part, to structure's we've put up. If I'm honest, I don't think it works, here. Maybe in a dryer climate it would age more gracefully, but I think the 'silvering' aging that it does, looks well.....unkempt. Maybe that's what you saw: it might just have been the way cedar goes.........
Here's two pics of cedar, and can make your own mind up:
1. Untreated. Fitted April 2009, pic taken Nov 2010.
2. Treated/stained/coated. Fitted October 2008, pic taken Nov 2010
There's another well-known example people in Dublin might be better able to identify. It's a 3 or 4 storey apartment block, built on the corner of a busy intersection, in from the Long Mile Road / Crumlin Road. It could well be just me, but I think it looks .......mmm......ymmv and all that !Ode To The Motorist

I used cedar cladding on my extension last year, it got two coats of UV oil.

This needs to be applied every 2/3 years. Personally I love the silver look of cedar so it wont be getting any further protection.

And, here's the man-made Tegral product.
Hey lads, thanks for all the info. & photos, very helpful.
As regards the soffit I was going to be using a top grade marine ply with vents to meet the building regs, thanks for the advice gsxr1 (nice pic also by the way!) but first I will look at those timber-look products that you mention galwaytt. I did look at a new timber composite material for the fascia last Nov on the net but then found out that it was unavalible in Ireland + I suppose I would like to use a product that is tried and tested. What fascia and soffit were used on the 3 photos you attached showing the cedar cladding, galwaytt? looks quiet decent from a distance!
That Tegral Product looks interesting, I must get some samples + info on price/m! Thanks galwaytt
The cedar on your extension looks well Currahee01 but maintenance would be too much of an issue for me - thanks for the info0 -
Won't this oil, as long as its reapplied, prevent it aging to the silver colour?Currahee01 wrote: »I used cedar cladding on my extension last year, it got two coats of UV oil.

Not sure if you are planning of leaving it to go silver, or maintaining it as is
Just to have them on thread;I did. I am !.......mmm, I had 3 attachments on the post yesterday - let's try again !....
