Western Red Cedar tongue and groove is widely used for its good looks and versatility. It can be installed horizontally, vertically or diagonally, each method giving a distinctly different look.
Tongue and groove siding or cladding is available with rough or smooth faces. Both seasoned (kiln-dried) and unseasoned (green) sidings are available. Tongue and groove cladding is manufactured in clear grades suitable for a more formal, elegant appearance, particularly when pieces are smooth faced. Knotty grades are in demand for their smart, casual look
The joints between adjoining pieces are usually v-shaped but flush jointed, reveal and radius joints are also available. The different joints and surface textures in tongue and groove cladding combine to provide a range of shadow line effects that enhance the product's versatility.
