Cedar cladding typically ranges in thickness from 22mm to 25mm.
Understanding Cedar Cladding Thickness
The precise thickness of individual cedar cladding boards generally falls within a range of 22mm to 25mm. While there is this slight variation in the overall range, it's important to note that all boards supplied within a single order will be consistent in their specific thickness. This ensures a uniform appearance and simplified installation for your project.
Key Attributes of Cedar Cladding
Beyond its dimensions, cedar is a highly valued timber for exterior cladding due to its exceptional natural properties:
- Durability and Toughness: Cedar is renowned for being a remarkably tough and durable timber, making it an excellent choice for withstanding various weather conditions and external wear.
- Exceptional Longevity: It boasts an extremely long lifespan, contributing significantly to the long-term integrity and aesthetic appeal of buildings.
- Natural Weathering and Appearance:
- When new, cedar displays a distinctive and attractive red hue.
- If left untreated, cedar will naturally weather over time, gradually transforming to an elegant silver-grey colour. This natural patina is often appreciated for its sophisticated, rustic charm.
- For those who prefer to preserve the original "new" red appearance, the timber can be treated. However, it is not essential to treat cedar for its preservation or structural integrity, as its inherent properties provide natural resistance.
