Description
Crafted from home-grown British Western Red Cedar, these Tongue & Groove (T&G) boards offer a stylish, contemporary solution for cladding sheds, garden offices, and home exteriors. Each board is precisely machined and planed smooth, featuring a tongue and groove joint for a seamless, professional finish that’s both durable and visually striking.
British Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insects, requiring no chemical treatment. Its light reddish-brown hues bring warmth and elegance to any design, gradually weathering to a soft silver-grey patina over time. With easy installation and low maintenance, this T&G profile provides a clean, modern appearance that complements both rustic and architectural builds.
Sustainably sourced and machined in the UK, this cedar cladding not only enhances exterior aesthetics but also supports environmentally responsible building practices.

FAQs – T&G British Cedar Cladding (95mm x 19mm)
1. What is T&G cladding?
T&G (Tongue & Groove) cladding features interlocking boards where each has a “tongue” on one side and a “groove” on the other. This design allows the boards to fit tightly together, creating a smooth, seamless surface with concealed fixings.
2. What is this size of T&G cedar typically used for?
The 95mm x 19mm boards are perfect for wall panelling, garden buildings, sheds, and exterior cladding projects.
3. Is the cedar kiln-dried?
Yes, the timber is kiln-dried, though slight moisture variation may occur due to transport and storage.
4. Does cedar need treating?
Treatment isn’t essential, but a UV-protective oil (like Osmo Oil) is highly recommended for exterior use. Treat once or twice a year to maintain colour and prevent weathering.
5. Can T&G cedar be used indoors?
It can be used internally for feature walls or panelling, but it’s primarily designed for external cladding.
6. How is T&G cedar installed?
Boards are installed horizontally or vertically, slotting together via the tongue and groove joint. Use stainless steel fixings and refer to the Cladding Install Guide for best results.
7. How long does cedar last outdoors?
With correct installation and basic maintenance, cedar cladding can last 20–30 years or more.
8. What colour does cedar turn as it ages?
Fresh cedar starts light reddish-brown and naturally weathers to a silver-grey patina with sun and rain exposure.
9. How does home-grown cedar differ from imported cedar?
Home-grown cedar has a more open grain and visible knots, creating a rustic, characterful finish many prefer. It’s also more sustainable due to local sourcing.
10. Are free samples available?
Yes – free sample boards are available to help visualise the colour, texture, and grain before ordering.

Help with my new garage roof!
Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.
