Prices from £3.84 inc. VAT
Description
Western Red Cedar Clear Grade Cladding at only £4.21 per metre inc VAT.
We've shaved a little off the thickness, and a lot off the price!
Silva Timber has sourced a significant amount of premium coastal grown, fine grained Western Red Cedar that we are able to offer in a range of cladding profiles at an incredible price.
How?
By slightly reducing the thickness of this 'A & Better Clear' grade Western Red Cedar cladding we have shaved a significant amount off the price.
At 16mm this exceeds the minimum recommended thickness for exterior cladding. Once installed there will be no difference in its appearance or performance.
Cedar Grading Explained:
First, the most important fact to be aware of is that 'A & Better Clear' is a higher grade than 'No. 2 Clear & Better', a grade offered by most importers here in the UK.
To explain, there are two sets of grading rules for Western Red Cedar:
- R-List Grading Rules - for sawn lumber
- NLGA Grading Rules - for finished products (eg cladding & decking)
'No. 2 Clear & Better' falls under the 'R-List Grading Rules' for sawn Cedar but the finished product it produces such as cladding falls under the NLGA grading rules for finished product
The finished product produced by Sawn No.2 clear & better is graded from A & Better to to D & Better, so when No. 2 clear & better is purchased one can expect to receive at best an even mix of these finished grades. A & Better Clear is virtually flawless whereas D & Better Clear will contain knots, some wane and other natural defects. As many other importers don't specify their NLGA grade, the quality you receive can vary greatly.
So put simply, if you order A & Better Clear from Silva you can be sure you're getting the cream of the crop.

Environment:
Western Red Cedar and other species in British Columbia's forests are harvested under a sustained yield policy which guarantees forest regeneration and biological diversity. Cedar decking is derived from a renewable resource.
It grows from the earth, is harvested, manufactured and used for decades or even centuries. Then, when its useful life span is ended, it returns to the earth.
This natural life cycle explains why real cedar decking is the environmentally sound choice when compared with alternative materials like concrete, plastic or metal. Only wood comes from a renewable, biodegradable resource.
Today's sustainable forestry practices ensure a perpetual abundance of high-quality wood from North America's forests. Aluminium and concrete come from materials extracted from the earth. Once removed, they can never be replaced. Plastics are derived from dwindling petroleum reserves.
Of each tree harvested, 95% goes into useful products. The remaining 5%, the branches, is left on the forest floor to biodegrade into rich compost for the next crop.
