Western Red Cedar Cladding

A top choice for cladding, western red cedar adds warmth to any property, promising long-lasting durability. 

At B&F Specialist Timber, we provide a wide range of cladding in various shades of red to improve the appearance and performance of your home, fence, or garden structure. 

Many homeowners love western red cedar wood for its rich colour variation, with shades such as warm honey to rustic russet. Its inherent resistance to decay makes it a smart choice for contemporary façades, garden rooms, and home refurbishments across the UK, since it can handle all types of harsh weather conditions. 

As a top choice for many architects, western red cedar cladding offers unmatched stability since the boards don’t shrink or expand too much when exposed to heat or really cold temperatures. What does this mean? The boards sit flatter, and joints stay tighter, making them perfect for protecting surfaces from degradation when used for home exteriors. 

This also means you won’t have to worry about splitting or shifting, promising better moisture resistance and insulation. 

However, if left untreated, the surface will gently weather to a silver-grey. Make sure to apply a UV-resistant finish and maintain it regularly to protect the original tones. At B&F, we sell kiln-dried western red cedar available in designs such as slatted screen boards and TGV cladding, perfect for any project. 

Beyond looks, Western red cedar timber remains lightweight and easy to work with, making cutting, fixing and detailing straightforward for installers. Pair with stainless steel fixings and a ventilated rainscreen build-up for a longer-lasting installation, so you can get your money’s worth out of it. 

You can add this to the outside of your home for a modern, inviting exterior, use it to upgrade the appearance of an office, or use it to build garden pergolas, fences, and sheds. The possibilities are endless.
