Crafted from premium Canadian Western Red Cedar, this Tongue & Groove (T&G) cladding offers exceptional performance for exterior applications while delivering a stunning natural aesthetic. Known globally for its durability, Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage—making it one of the most reliable softwoods for long-lasting outdoor cladding.
Its fine, straight grain and warm reddish-brown tones provide a rich, timeless appearance suitable for both traditional and contemporary designs. When left untreated, the timber gently ages to a sophisticated silver-grey patina. For customers wishing to preserve its vibrant colour, oils and stains—such as OSMO—can be applied to maintain its warmth and enhance protection.
The interlocking T&G profile ensures a tight, secure fit that improves weather resistance while creating a clean, uniform finish. Perfect for architects, installers, and homeowners who demand a high-end material that balances beauty, durability, and sustainability.

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!!
