Description
Naturally durable, visually striking, and exceptionally stable, our 144mm x 19mm Canadian Western Red Cedar Shiplap Cladding is a premium choice for exterior projects that demand both performance and beauty. The refined shiplap profile offers clean lines and a modern aesthetic while maintaining strong weather protection—ideal for high-end garden buildings, house façades, garages, and contemporary architectural designs.
Western Red Cedar is world-renowned for its outstanding resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage, thanks to its natural oils. Its low density makes it thermally efficient and easy to work with, while its stability ensures minimal movement when exposed to the elements.
With warm reddish-brown tones that gracefully weather into a beautiful silver-grey patina, this cladding provides long-lasting elegance with or without treatment. The No.2 Clear & Better grade ensures minimal knots, enhancing the premium appearance and consistency of each board.

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.

Right product, right price, right delivery. Sure, it was only one length of cast iron guttering but they took the order seriously, packed it well and kept me updated on delivery. And when I opened the very good packaging I found it was exactly what I had wanted. How can you do better!!
