Western Red Cedar

• Characteristics of Western Red Cedar

Western Red Cedar is, above all, a wood of exceptional beauty. In its natural, unfinished state, it has a richly textured grain combined with a palette of warm, mellow tones ranging from light amber to deep honey brown. No man-made material can duplicate the depth of cedar's natural luster. It also remains subtly aromatic, and the characteristic fragrance of cedar adds another dimension to its universal appeal.

Western Red Cedar contains natural oils that act as preservatives to help the wood resist insect attack and decay. It is also a dimensionally stable wood that lies flat and stays straight. A wood that ages gracefully and endures for many years, Western Red Cedar is the preferred material for all outdoor applications that seek visual harmony with the landscape, combined with stability and durability. Indoors, cedar's dimensional stability makes it perfectly suited to high moisture areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and saunas. Western Red Cedar is a lightweight wood, easy to handle and install for both the professional and the do-it yourselfer. Using hand or machine tools, the wood can be cut, shaped, planed, sanded, nailed and glued easily. It is free of pitch and resin and it finishes to a richly glowing surface that can be enhanced with transparent, semi-transparent or full bodied stains and paints.

• Grades

To begin the grade process start by first making a choice between a product with knots, known as "Knotty" or no knots, known as "Clear". For more details on the grades available visit the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association. The bevel siding grades apply to all siding patterns. Next select the pattern you prefer.

• Siding patterns

At Wine Valley Siding Supply Inc. we keep a large inventory of the most common siding patterns and grades, such as bevel, channel, tongue & groove, shingles, decking and trim boards. These stock items are all kept under cover and can be seen in our Product Catalog.

If you're looking for a custom profile we can manufacture this to your specifications, simply select the grade and pattern, or if you already know what you want go directly to Request a Quote. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have and guide you through the selection process.
