Western Red Cedar Cladding Tongue & Groove 25x150mm – Premium, Durable Timber for Cladding
Opt for the exquisite natural beauty of Canadian Western Red Cedar for your cladding projects. This timber offers a clean and almost knot-free finish, ideal for achieving a sophisticated look. Occasional knots may appear and can be skilfully worked around architectural features such as doors and windows. The colour variation of this cedar, from dark reddish-brown to pale pinks and oranges, is distinctive and highly sought after, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any structure. Western Red Cedar is renowned for its exceptional stability and natural durability without the need for chemical treatments. To maintain its original rich colour and prevent it from turning silver—a process some find desirable—it is recommended to apply treatments like Osmo or Treatex UV Oil every 2-5 years. Missed treatments can easily be rectified with simple sanding and reapplication of the oil.
Key Features:
- Visual Appeal: Offers a range of colours from pale honey to deep rich brown, providing versatility in design.
- Natural Durability: Inherently resistant to decay, fungal attacks, and the elements, making it perfect for outdoor use.
- Maintenance Ease: While naturally durable, periodic application of UV oil enhances and preserves the timber’s rich colours.
- Sound and Thermal Insulation: Excellent properties for reducing sound transmission and insulating against temperature changes.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for cladding as well as roofing, thanks to its compatibility with Cedar Shingles for vertical surfaces.
