Forming part of the ‘Silva Select’ family of clear Western Red Cedar cladding products, Silva Select Contractor + offers a high-quality appearance at a lower price point than the flagship Silva Select Prestige VG range.
Old-growth Western Red Cedar is used to produce Silva Select Contractor +. The raw material is harvested from forests in the coastal regions of British Columbia, Canada, an area, known to yield the finest, dense grained cedar logs.
Aimed at contractors for larger-scale projects, the grading of Silva Select Contractor + is less stringent. Most boards (approximately 85%) meet the grading rules for ‘No. 2 Clear & Better’, with a smaller percentage (approximately 15%) falling into the ‘No. 4 Clear’ grade. For this reason, occasional pieces will exhibit slightly larger knots, knot holes, and other characteristics that would otherwise not be permitted in the ‘No. 2 Clear & Better’ grade.
It is possible to install the Microline Channel profile either horizontally or vertically. A square sided recess where the boards meet creates bold shadow lines that will accentuate either the height or width of the façade. Microline Channel will lend a high-end contemporary appearance to any project. Boards connect with a tongue and groove system for easy installation.

Western Red Cedar is synonymous with beauty and durability, thanks to its stunning colour palette and expected service life of 60+ years. The raw material used to produce Silva Select Contractor No. 2 Clear & Better 85/15 Western Red Cedar cladding is sourced from forests in the coastal regions of British Columbia, Canada – an area known for its high quality, fine-grained old-growth logs.
Western Red Cedar Channel cladding looks stunning indoors too, creating a feeling of warmth and luxury on accent walls or feature ceilings. Its excellent dimensional stability makes it perfect for high moisture areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, conservatories, swimming pools, and saunas.
This Western Red Cedar No. 2 Clear & Better Channel Cladding is graded on one face only. Boards are not reversible and, as such, some surface/roller marks may expected on the rear of the boards.
