Canadian Western Red Cedar 1pc Corner

CANADIAN WESTERN RED CEDAR:

The Canadian Western Red Cedar corners we supply are generally supplied in "Clear and Better No.2 85-15" grade which is one of the most popular grades of Western Red Cedar available due to it being much more cost effective than Full No2 Clear & Better. If you do want the top grade, please do get in touch as we can get this machined up for you to order. The timber is almost knot free giving you a nice clean finish to your cladding there will be the occasional knot which usually you can cut out around doors or windows. The colour of the cedar is a quite remarkable range of dark reddish-brown to pale pinks and oranges this quite possibly being the reason you’re looking at Canadian Western Red Cedar in the first place!

TREATMENT:

You do not need to apply any treatment to the timber as it is naturally durable although we recommend using Osmo or Treatex UV Oil to enhance the appearance as this will prevent it from turning silver (which some customers love) it is important to apply a fresh coat every 2 - 5 years to retain the colour. If you do miss this time frame it is quite easy to get it back so don't panic, Just get the sander out!

THERMOWOOD:

The ThermoWood we supply is produced by heat treating Redwood to temperatures in excess of 200 degrees Centigrade. During heat treatment, chemical and structural changes occur within the timber which alter and improve some of its basic characteristics. This then creates an environmentally-friendly product which is then resistant to decay.

BRITISH WESTERN RED CEDAR:

The appearance of British western red cedar has a pink to amber colouring with frequent dark knots. The colouring of the British western red cedar is paler, but more consistent than the Canadian western red cedar this is due to the minerals in the soil along the coast where the Canadian Cedar is grown. British Western Red Cedar provides an exquisite aesthetic finish at a more affordable price than the Canadian Western Red Cedar.
