+44 (0)1275 794735 Website

Application

Widely used in both Cladding and Decking scenarios.

Description

The UK/ homegrown counterpart is faster grown, therefore is only a moderately durable softwood.


Features and benefits:

  • Indigenous species which grow in various parts of Britain giving an improved carbon footprint to local projects and developments.
  • Homegrown Cedar is significantly cheaper over the Western Canadian alternative and is worth considering as the product does not have to travel half way round the world to the United Kingdom (UK).
  • The timber will weather to a silver/ grey over time if not coated, ideal for that rustic finish with the characteristic knots present in the species.
  • FSC certified, sustainably sourced timber.
  • Grown within the UK.
  • All timber is sourced and machined to CE Quality Grading Requirements.
  • Faster grown than imported species, large and frequent knots along the length.
  • Ideal for that rustic finish with the characteristic knots present in the species.
  • This species is only moderately durable and should be high-pressure-treated with NORclad Brunnea™ or NORclad Lite™ to give the species a 30-year warranty against rot and fungal decay out of ground contact (UC3).
