The benefits of installing Western Red Cedar Cladding

Canadian Cedar cladding is a popular choice for many reasons, one of which being its exceptional durability. The wood is naturally resistant to decay, meaning it is able to withstand even the harshest weather conditions with ease. This makes cladding in red cedar a low-maintenance choice that will stand the test of time.

Another great benefit of cedar wood cladding is its lightweight, low density, nature. This makes it an ideal material for those looking to tackle a DIY project, as it is easy to work with and install. It is also an environmentally friendly option, as cedar is a renewable resource that grows relatively quickly, meaning it is easy to replace what is used.

One of the key advantages of western cedar cladding is the stunning visual impact it can have on a property. The natural variations in the wood grain create a unique and beautiful finish that can't be replicated with other materials. Cedar cladding can add character and depth to any home, and it is a versatile material that can be used to create a range of looks and styles.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, red cedar wood cladding is also a great choice for those looking to improve the energy efficiency of their home. The natural insulation properties of cedar mean it can help regulate the temperature of a property, keeping it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This can lead to a reduction in energy costs, making it a cost-effective option in the long run.

Overall, cladding in red cedar is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance the beauty and durability of their home. At Avon Timber, we have a range of cedar cladding options to suit any project or budget. So why not take a look at our selection today and see how cladding in red cedar can transform your property?

Cedar Cladding FAQs
What advantage does T&G red cedar wood cladding have over other timber tongue and groove cladding?

Cedar tongue and groove cladding stands out for its lightweight nature when compared to other T&G timber cladding options. These physical properties bring several benefits, including easier handling during installation and reduced structural load on buildings. Despite its light density, cedar maintains durability and aesthetic appeal, making it a favoured choice for both residential and commercial projects. With natural resistance to decay and insect infestation, cedar tongue and groove cladding offers a compelling blend of practicality and visual appeal for your exterior application.

What maintenance is required for cedar cladding?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning with a mild detergent and water, inspecting for any damage or discolouration, and reapplying a protective oil every few years in order to maintain its natural beauty and resistance to decay.

What OSMO protective oil would you recommend?

We highly recommend Osmo Oil No. 428. Osmo UV-Protection Oil is a natural oil-based and microporous finish known for its exceptional durability. It doesn't crack, flake, peel, or blister. This formula is water and dirt resistant, while also regulating moisture and reducing wood swelling and shrinkage.

Over time, external weathering elements can fade the wood's natural colour, resulting in a grey colouring. However, UV-Protection Oil is specifically designed to resist this process, preserving the wood's natural appearance for longer periods.

What is shadow gap cladding and which profiles are they?

Shadow gap cladding refers to a design technique where a small, but deliberate, gap is created between adjoining wall cladding boards. This technique creates a distinct visual effect, as the shadow cast by the gap adds depth and dimension to the surface. Our AT7, AT9 and AT10 profiles are Shadow gap cladding red cedar profiles.
