Canadian Western Red Cedar:

The Canadian Western Red Cedar cladding we supply is 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!

Difference between finishes:

The main difference is the profile the quality of the timber is very similar but allow more defects on the standard grade.

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!

Please be aware these sizes are an average. They will all create 1.8m, 2.1m and 2.4m this is to allow you to clean the edges up and create a straight line on your project.

Growth

Thuja Plicata, also known as Western Red Cedar, is a truly remarkable species. In its native Canadian forests, it can reach towering heights of up to 200ft, with growth rates of around 2ft per year. Renowned for its longevity, many trees live for centuries, with some recorded at over 1,000 years old.

Colour

Canadian Western Red Cedar offers a striking natural palette, with tones ranging from light honey through warm amber to deep reddish-browns. Its straight grain and fine texture provide a refined, contemporary look, while subtle variations between boards add depth and character. Left untreated, it gradually matures to an elegant silver-grey.

Applications

Cedar battens are a versatile timber solution, suitable for both modern and traditional projects. Their natural durability, light weight, and striking appearance make them ideal for a wide range of uses, including cladding, fencing and saunas.

Durability

We only sell premium grade No2 Clear & Better which is the highest grade of Canadian Cedar. It is a Class 2 durability, seeing out 70+ years with no decay on exteriors.
Treatment & Installation

Cedar is naturally durable, meaning there’s no need for treatment to ensure its longevity, but it will silver overtime. However, to preserve the rich tones and striking natural beauty unique to Canadian Cedar, we recommend finishing with Osmo Oil. This enhances the grain, maintains the vibrant colour, and offers added protection. To read more, download our spec sheet below.
