A retired couple planning to make their cottage their primary residence struggled to agree on the siding. Both wanted a durable option. The woman preferred genuine wood for its natural look and warmth, while her husband sought an alternative that would reduce maintenance… so he could enjoy more leisure time! Their search ended when they discovered Maibec’s Knotty Western Red Cedar siding.
The Western Red Cedar siding met all their requirements. Its lower density contributes to stability and reduces the risk of cracking, twisting, or bending. Naturally providing resistance to insects and rot, red cedar also adds elegance and warmth to any space. When paired with Maibec’s water-based bleaching stain (H2BO), it further reduces
the frequency of maintenance. This unique stain accelerates the wood’s aging process on the surface, resulting in the beautiful, sought-after weathered look that endures
over the years.
Our couple selected the Western Red Cedar in the Contemporary EM+ profile with a light gray H2BO stain – achieving the look and performance both loved.
This siding is available in Modern, Versa, and Contemporary profiles, all featuring the EM+ end-matched tongue and groove system, which enables installations up to 30% faster, with virtually no visible nails. A full range of solid colours and natural tones from our regular siding line is also available with this product.
Western Red Cedar Siding allows everyone to find a great balance between a stable product that highlights the richness of the wood and its ability to withstand the seasons while growing more beautiful over time.
