Naturally durable species of timber cladding
Application
Typically used for timber cladding, brise soleil, solar shading, shingles and decking.
Description
- Canadian Western Red Cedar is a slow-grown, naturally durable species of timber with high resistance to decay.
- It is stable and lightweight, with a natural beauty and warmth complemented by a uniform fine grain which makes it easy to work with and finish.
- It is a soft timber and can be nailed or screwed. However, as it is a soft timber it may be more prone to physical damage such as splitting and indentation/ bruising, so care should be taken.
- Most Western Red Cedar used in the UK is imported from North America and Western Canada.
- Cedar will naturally weather down to a silver/ grey colour if it is not protected once installed.
- The species is durable and does not need additional treatment for external use.
- For an element of colour stability the product can be high pressure treated with the "Brunnea" option, containing a brown pigment.
- NORclad Brunnea and NORclad Lite provide a 30-year warranty against rot and fungal decay.
