Cedar and Wood Cladding
So, the first thing you need to ask yourself when buying a Garden Room or Garden Office is whether you want a natural wood cladding for the exterior or a man-made material, both of which have advantages and disadvantages.
We offer two options in natural timbers in addition to our zero maintenance Wood Fibre Composites. Red Cedar and treated European Redwood are probably the most commonly used materials for Garden Rooms and Garden Offices throughout the UK, and certainly look really nice when first installed as the photo of our project for the North Clwyd Animal Rescue demonstrates below:

The only thing to be aware of when specifying natural timbers is that whilst the two we offer will last 30+ years, they will fade to greys/blacks unless treated on a bi-annual basis.
If you do not fancy regular staining why not look at the option of our Zero Maintenance Wood Fibre Composite cladding
THE PROBLEM WITH NATURAL TIMBER:
As this competitor photo shows, natural timber can be unsightly if left untreated. It also fades at different rates - so shady areas will retain their original wood colour whilst other parts turn varied greys.
