All items sold by the linear metre. Varying lengths available, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Western Red Cedar is naturally durable, rot-resistant and insect-resistant due to its natural extractives (thujaplicins) and so is perferct for external cladding. It has excellent dimensional stability and low moisture uptake (so less warping/splitting than many softwoods). It has attractive warm redish tones and a fine, straight grain that finishes well.

For longest life and to retain the natural colour; apply a high-quality timber oil designed for cedar; re-apply typically every 2-5 years depending on exposure and the product used. If left untreated, cedar will weather to a silver-grey patina. Clean with mild timber cleaner (no aggregssive bleach) and avoid trapping moisture behind cladding. Allow ventilation and good drainage.

Special order – non-returnable.

For 18 x 94mm cladding approx 10.65 linear metres is required to cover one square metre and for 18 x 144mm cladding approx 6.95 linear metres is required to cover one square metre.
