Natural Timber Cladding

Western Red Cedar is a naturally durable softwood widely used in exterior timber cladding. Its relatively low density makes boards lightweight and easy to handle on site, while the timber’s natural oils help resist decay and moisture exposure. The timber displays mixed grain and natural colour variation, producing façades with a warm, natural character. Left untreated, cedar will weather gradually to a silver-grey tone over time.
