Western Red Cedar

If you are seeking cladding full of natural charm yet strong and durable, then Western Red Cedar could be the choice for you. This is a perennial favourite for all sorts of landscaping projects, including fencing, decking, and, of course, cladding. The Western Red Cedar is popular thanks to its beautiful reddish-brown colour, which often has attractive pink, red or brown undertones. It boasts great durability and weather resistance, while remaining aesthetically pleasing.

Western Red Cedar is versatile, too, and can complement both contemporary and traditional styles of buildings. It has a uniform finish and is largely knot-free. One of the biggest selling points for Western Red Cedar is its natural resistance to decay and it is sometimes possible to use it in external projects without the need for treatment. Many like to leave their Western Red Cedar untreated as it tends to fade to an appealing classic silver tone. It also holds its shape well and suffers limited shrinkage when in contact with moisture.
