Western Red Cedar

Western red cedar is the ultimate external cladding timber, boasting excellent natural beauty, dimensional stability and decay resistance.

That's not to mention its eye-catching variety of reds, pinks and chocolate browns, placing it amongst the attractiveness elite — superbly suited to any traditional or contemporary vision. If left untreated, it will naturally silver and provide a service life of at least 35 years.

Sustainably sourced from coastal Canada, all of our cedar is kiln dried and double graded to our own quality control standards. This produces a superior all-round product against the UK standard.

Our grade is No. 2 Clears & Better, including up to <7% No 4. As part of this grade, 90% of the boards will be clear or contain infrequent small knots; 7% can contain up to 4–5 knots per board that can be soft or loose.
