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.
