Timber Species:
Canadian Western Red Cedar

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

Sustainably sourced from coastal Canada, cedar boasts an 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 with a UV filter finish, the wood slowly attains a distinguished silvery-grey look.

Choose from a range of profiles to suit your home or commercial project, including vertical and horizontal. All of the Western Red Cedar we supply is sustainably sourced and sticked and dried on site to less than 20% moisture content.

Our grade is No. 2 Clears & Better, including up to 15% No 4. As part of this grade, 85% of the boards will be clear or contain infrequent small knots; 15% can contain up to 4–5 knots per board that can be soft or loose.
