Why Western Red Cedar is our cladding of choice

Western Red Cedar cladding is a great option for garden rooms, providing a unique and stylish look that can transform any outdoor space. This wood is known for its rich hues and textures, making it an ideal choice for garden rooms and other outdoor structures.

But why choose Western Red Cedar cladding for your garden room? There are many benefits to using this material, including its aesthetic appeal, performance, and sustainability.

Aesthetics

Western Red Cedar has a unique look and feel that will give your garden room a unique and stylish look that cannot be found with other materials. The natural grain of the wood creates a texture that is eye-catching and attractive, while its light colour helps it to blend in with its surroundings. Plus, the warm hue of the wood helps provide an inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. This makes it a great choice for those looking to create a timeless outdoor living space.

Performance

When it comes to performance, Western Red Cedar is ideal for cladding a garden room. This softwood is naturally resistant to decay and insect attack, meaning it won’t require any chemical treatments. It’s also lightweight, making it easy to work with and install. Not to mention its excellent thermal performance, keeping your garden room warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Protection from UV Light and De-colouration

Western Red Cedar is an excellent choice for cladding a garden room. It offers lasting beauty, durability and performance benefits that make it the perfect choice for outdoor use. To ensure that it stays looking great for years to come, it is important to use a protective oil such as OSMO to protect against UV light and de-colouration. At Yardbox, we protect every garden room with OSMO after installation. With the right care and maintenance, your garden room will look beautiful for years to come.

Sustainability

Western Red Cedar is also a sustainable option for garden rooms. The wood is sourced from managed forests, meaning it is harvested responsibly and replanted, helping to protect and preserve the environment.
