Western Red Cedar Siding

Western red cedar siding is a perfect finishing choice to any home interior or exterior. It gained its popularity for its beautiful color, durability and resistance to outdoor weather.

Cedar is a lightweight wood and has a well uniform texture.  It makes it very easy to work with. It holds well adhesive bonds and paints and finishes extremely well because of a very low pitch and resin content. The Clear Vertical Grain cut of the boards makes them even more receptive to finishes. Cedar siding is naturally resistant to decay, moisture, and insects. Its fibers contain natural preservatives that are toxic to decay-causing fungi.
