Natural Timber Cladding

Western Red Cedar is a naturally durable softwood commonly used in exterior timber cladding. Its relatively low density makes boards lightweight and easy to handle on site, while natural extractives within the timber help resist moisture and decay.

The timber displays natural colour variation ranging from lighter honey tones through to deeper browns. Left untreated, cedar gradually weathers to a silver-grey finish over time.
