Cedar Siding

Discover Cedar’s Natural Beauty

Western Red Cedar is the perfect product for any number of settings: classic, contemporary, rustic, and everything in-between. The uniform, fine-grain, texture and natural satin sheen makes it an extremely attractive siding product. Use cedar in a variety of applications including siding, decking, fencing, shingles, gazebos, and more. Beyond it’s natural beauty, the qualities of cedar are numerous:

Durability and Longevity

Naturally occurring preservatives make it decay- and mold-resistant and a deterrent to termites
Exceptional strength in proportion to weight
Highly impermeable to moisture
Low maintenance
Retains straightness and shape in even the harshest weather, making it ideal for siding applications
Twice the stability of other commonly used exterior wood sidings and resists warping, cupping and twisting

Accepts and Retains Finish

Lack of pitch and resin make it an ideal base for all types of paints and stains. In fact, it ranks at the top in its ability to accept and maintain a finish.

Moderates Temperatures and Creates a Sound Barrier

The low density make-up of the wood increases insulation, keeping the home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, while additionally creating a natural sound barrier.

Cedar Tongue and Groove Siding

Tongue and Groove sidings may be applied vertically, horizontally or on a diagonal to suit your design needs. The siding is reversible and can be used for both interior and exterior applications.
