Key Properties

• Colour: Palette of rich, warm wood tones, which vary from light amber to dark reddish-brown.
• Durability: Western Red Cedar will deliver decades of trouble-free service when properly finished and maintained. It has a decay resistance of durability class 2 (durable) according to the EN 113 standard.
• Stability: Western Red Cedar has excellent dimensional stability because of its low wood density and shrinkage factor. Shrinkage and swelling are minimal, displaying only small movements with changes in humidity.
• Density: The wood of Western Red Cedar is light, weighing 330-390 kg/m³.
• Thermal properties: Wood generally is an excellent thermal insulator, but Western Red Cedar has a particularly good insulation value because of its low wood density. Its coefficient of thermal conductivity (k) is 0.11 W/m °C at 12% moisture content.
• Acoustic properties: Western Red Cedar is particularly effective when used as interior panelling to dampen vibrations and absorb sound.
• Kiln-dried: Select Knotty Western Red Cedar is kiln-dried, giving it many advantages. The process improves dimensional stability, permits the immediate application of a coating, and enables installation with minimal site acclimatisation. 
• Grading: Produced exclusively from ‘Select Knotty’ grade Western Red Cedar. The grade is characterised by well-interspersed sound tight (live) knots. Select Knotty boards are graded on the primary (fine sawn) face only. A small number of defects may be evident on the secondary (smooth) face and additional wastage should be factored in to compensate for this. Read more about grading and quality here.
• Sourcing/certification: Western Red Cedar is sourced from the most sustainably managed forests in the world in British Columbia, Canada, and comes with PEFC certification.

Optional Extras

• Coatings: The application of a coating is necessary to protect the wood and optimise its appearance over time. The coating should be applied to all surfaces, including ends, before installation. Choose from our wide range of high-performance wood coating systems.
