Fitting and handling
Store boards flat and off the ground on bearers, covered and ventilated, for at least 48 hours before fixing to allow acclimatisation to site conditions. Fix through the tongue using stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanised nails or screws to prevent rust staining, and leave a small expansion gap at board ends. Western Red Cedar can be left unfinished to weather to a natural silver-grey or treated with a penetrating oil or UV-stable finish to maintain its warm reddish-brown tones - either way, ensure all cut ends are sealed on installation.
FAQ
Does Western Red Cedar cladding need treating before installation?
No. Western Red Cedar has natural oils that give it good durability for above-ground external use without any pressure treatment. You can apply a wood oil or exterior finish to preserve the colour, but the timber will perform reliably left untreated, gradually weathering to a consistent silver-grey.
What fixings should I use with Western Red Cedar cladding?
Always use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanised fixings. Cedar contains tannic acids that react with plain steel and zinc-plated fixings, causing dark staining that bleeds onto the face of the board. Secret nailing through the tongue is the preferred method for a clean finish.
What is the coverage of 25x150mm V-jointed tongue and groove cladding?
The 25x150mm nominal board has a face width that, once the tongue and groove are engaged, typically gives an approximate finished face coverage of around 130-135mm per board. Measure your area and allow 10-15% for waste, cutting and any damaged lengths.
