CEDAR SIDING IN CALGARY

Cedar siding is a natural wood exterior cladding solution valued for its timeless appearance, durability, and architectural versatility. Cedar creates a warm, refined exterior while delivering reliable performance for residential and commercial properties.
Widely used in Canadian construction, cedar siding is well suited to Calgary’s climate due to its natural resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and environmental exposure. It enhances curb appeal while maintaining structural reliability over time.

WHAT IS CEDAR SIDING

Cedar siding is an exterior cladding system made from natural cedar wood, carefully milled into boards, shingles, or panels for residential and commercial applications. Each piece of cedar carries its own grain pattern, texture, and tone, making every installation visually unique.

One of cedar’s defining characteristics is its natural resistance to moisture, decay, and insects, achieved without chemical treatment. This resistance is inherent to the wood itself, making cedar a reliable and environmentally conscious exterior material.

Cedar siding also allows the building envelope to breathe. Proper airflow and moisture regulation reduce the risk of trapped condensation behind the siding, supporting the long-term health of the wall system.
