Here are "5 things to check" that you should know when incorporating cedar board construction into exterior walls and interiors! To prevent construction defects, poor quality, and delays in the schedule.
I would like to introduce you to "How to Identify Cedar Board Formwork Concrete Method" from Sanwa Construction, which addresses all concrete troubles, from the beautification of newly built houses to aging deterioration of fences, so that you can avoid losses! The downside is that since concrete is poured into cedar board formwork for a one-shot finish, you cannot know the outcome until the formwork is removed. The reason is that the cedar board absorbs moisture from the fresh concrete, causing the cement paste to stick to the formwork and peel off, or not transfer well. Furthermore, it is very difficult and high-risk as poor finishes like honeycombing and surface defects can occur. Additionally, since concrete needs to be poured, the construction conditions are limited, leading to high costs. The level of finish also varies by contractor. When considering cedar board floating, be sure to check the following points! 【Verification Items】 ■ The level of finish color expression ■ Whether there is technology for adjusting the texture of the wood grain ■ The neatness of the wood grain joints in construction case photos ■ The know-how and knowledge of plastering techniques ■ Whether mortar construction can be used as an alternative to concrete *For more details, please refer to the basic information at the bottom of the screen.

basic information
[Things You Should Know to Avoid Failure] ■ Finishing Color Techniques There are contractors who can only express monotone colors, while others can adjust colors to resemble real exposed concrete or cedar boards. ■ Wood Grain Texture Some contractors leave the transfer quality entirely to chance, while others can blur or sharpen the wood grain patterns according to requests. ■ Cedar Board Joints Methods with many patches can be too noticeable and detract from aesthetics, but the ability to adjust this varies among contractors. ■ Plastering Techniques and Knowledge Level Both ready-mixed concrete and cedar boards are perishable materials, and without knowledge and experience, defects can occur, leading to repair costs and extended construction periods. ■ Alternatives through Mortar Application Depending on the plastering technique, it is possible to create a wood grain effect using mortar on RC structures or wooden buildings, even if the construction site and conditions are limited. Our "Cedar Board Floating Design" utilizes a unique plastering technique with mortar to transfer and shape the wood grain, allowing for coloring and patterning according to preference. The texture of the wood grain creates shadows that produce a rich expression. ~Patent Obtained Product~ The finish can also resemble that of real cedar board concrete forms, thanks to our unique technology.
