April 30, 20251 yr Still waiting on a quote for an oak strip wood soffit for an overhang. Still in two minds about the problem of oak and timber ageing to a grey colour from UV light after a year or two. Therefore also wanting to look at manmade wood effect alternatives that will not change colour and be low maintenance. Any suggestions/suppliers ? Has anyone on here done something similar ? (Slightly wonder if LVT click style planks could be used ?)
April 30, 20251 yr I’m just about to build an oak canopy over the front door Staining and going grey is a real problem Osmo UV doesn’t do what it says on the tin Im looking for alternatives I did all our sofits and facias in a would effect Don’t fancy being up a ladder each year

April 30, 20251 yr I’m not sure I’ve ever seen oak oudoors, not silver unless regularly treated. Lame goes for larch. And bothe look pretty similar in the end. As a soffit it might well be that as it’s not exposed to uv or weather, it may last a good while. I fitted this (not in wood finish) and the colour 5 years later is still good a strong when exposed to full daylight on a facade… pretty much 0 maintenance. https://www.trespa.com/en_GB/products/wood-decors
