Feather Edge Western Red Cedar Cladding – Traditional Look, Premium Performance

For timeless appeal and dependable performance, Feather Edge Western Red Cedar Cladding delivers. Designed with a classic tapered edge, this cladding style is a popular choice for projects that need a traditional appearance, natural wood texture, and high resistance to the elements.

Feather Edge boards are ideal for overlapping horizontal installations. The boards are thicker on one edge and taper to a thinner edge, creating a layered effect that is both visually striking and functionally weatherproof.

Crafted from the finest Canadian Western Red Cedar, these boards offer more than just looks. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, insects, and decay, making it a smart, low-maintenance choice for external applications across the UK.

Our Feather Edge Western Red Cedar Cladding offers a timeless, rustic look with the performance of premium Canadian timber. Each board is cut with a gentle taper, allowing for overlap that naturally sheds water, making it ideal for traditional exteriors, garden buildings, and outbuildings.

The design provides both strength and weather resistance while maintaining a lighter weight for easier installation. As with all Red Cedar Retail products, this cladding is PEFC-certified, sustainably sourced, and naturally resistant to decay and insect damage.

Over time, the warm reddish-brown tones can mellow into an elegant silver-grey, giving your project an authentic, lived-in character. Whether you’re restoring a heritage property or adding rustic charm to a new build, Feather Edge cladding delivers beauty, protection, and long-lasting value.

What is Feather Edge Cladding?

Feather Edge cladding is a tapered board style designed for traditional overlapping installations. It provides:

• A rustic, layered timber aesthetic

• Excellent water run-off due to the angled profile

• A strong visual presence perfect for barn-style builds, cabins, or fences

The simplicity of installation and natural durability of the cedar make this profile a popular choice for contractors, self-builders, and landscapers.
