Red Cedar, whose botanical name is Thuya plicata, is a premium wood species from North America, ideal for cladding that combines aesthetics, longevity and performance. Its unique grain and warm hues, from orange-brown to golden, add a natural, refined touch to any facade.
At Sivalbp, we select only Clear 2 quality western red cedar, an exceptional species virtually free of knots and irregularities, for a consistent, high-end visual appearance.
Thanks to its natural oils, western red cedar is rot-proof and offers optimum protection against fungi, wood-eating insects and external aggression. Adapted to humid and extreme climates, it guarantees exceptional durability for up to 50 years, without the need for special treatment.
Over time, red cedar naturally evolves to a uniform silver-gray color, without altering its mechanical performance. No treatment is required, unless you wish to preserve its original color.
Red cedar is a naturally lightweight wood, making it easy to handle and install on site. Its homogeneous structure enables precise cutting and excellent fastener retention, making installation fast and efficient. Ideal for cladding, it is suitable for all types of project, whether new or renovation.
Western Red Cedar is one of the most durable wood species for cladding. It is particularly prized for its natural resistance to weather, insects and fungi, making it an ideal choice for exterior cladding. Its characteristic odour and distinctive appearance also add aesthetic value to building projects.
For humid climates, both red cedar and Thermo Nordic Pine are excellent choices for wood cladding. Red cedar is naturally resistant to moisture and insects, offering exceptional durability with a distinctive look. Thermo Nordic Pine, on the other hand, benefits from a treatment (thermostabilisation) that improves its stability and resistance to moisture, making it highly suitable for damp environments too. Both options ensure that your cladding will last longer and look better, allowing you to choose according to your aesthetic and budgetary preferences.
