The exterior finish of a building is the
face it presents to the world; it defines
the mood and character of the structure
and reflects the image desired by its designers,
builders or owners.
Western Red Cedar siding is available in
a range of designs and grades, offering
the variety and versatility to complement
any architectural style. It adapts equally
well to bold and expressive modernism or
the well-defined criteria of period styling.
Above all, Western Red Cedar has an enduring
beauty that projects an aura of prestige.
It is a wood with great dimensional stability
and natural decay resistance. Its freedom
from pitch and resin makes it an excellent
base for a wide range of finishes.
Siding Patterns
Bevel, pattern and board-and-batten
are among the most popular sidings and there
are many variations within these styles to
provide a variety of designer effects to suit
a wide range of tastes. Although every effort
has been made in this publication to show
representative grades, the actual appearance
may vary between manufacturers.
Choosing a siding is largely a matter of
personal preference, architectural appearance
and environmental harmony. The size, height
and design of a home, its setting, the changing
designs of light and shade during the course
of a day, will all influence the final choice.
