TG&V Longer Tongue Western Red Cedar Cladding – Precision-Fit Timber for Premium Builds

If you’re looking for a refined finish with improved structural hold, TG&V Longer Tongue Western Red Cedar Cladding is the perfect upgrade from standard tongue and groove. Designed with an extended tongue, this profile offers deeper interlocks, enhanced stability, and a sleeker visual effect across walls and façades.

Crafted from premium Canadian Western Red Cedar, this timber is renowned for its durability, weather resistance, and architectural appeal. Whether installed vertically or horizontally, TG&V Longer Tongue boards ensure a tight, smooth fit that’s ideal for both contemporary and traditional aesthetics.

Our TG&V Longer Tongue Cedar Cladding is the perfect blend of thoughtful craftsmanship and rugged performance. With a deeper tongue profile, each board offers enhanced joint strength and a more secure fit, ideal for installations exposed to the elements or high-impact environments.

This profile retains the classic charm of TG&V cladding but adds technical superiority — ensuring less water ingress, tighter joins, and longer-lasting stability. Whether you’re cladding a garden room, shed, facade, or architectural feature wall, the longer tongue detail provides peace of mind without compromising on aesthetics.

Each board is smooth-planed, kiln-dried, and made from clear-grade Canadian Western Red Cedar, known for its rich colour, straight grain, and resistance to decay. As it naturally silvers with age or holds its tone with UV oil, it brings lasting beauty to any space it touches.

For those who build with care and character, this cladding profile is truly heartcrafted.TG&S Western Red Cedar Cladding | 45–145mm Premium Boards

What is TG&V Longer Tongue Western Red Cedar Cladding?

The TG&V Longer Tongue profile features a tongue and groove connection with a deeper tongue length than standard TG&V profiles. This allows the boards to interlock more securely, reducing movement, minimizing visible gaps, and improving long-term structural performance.

When used in external cladding, this profile offers greater resilience to wind pressure, seasonal shrinkage, and moisture ingress — all while maintaining the attractive V-joint shadow line that architects and designers value.

Why Choose TG&V Longer Tongue Western Red Cedar Cladding?

If precision, weather resistance, and long-term structural integrity matter, this cladding profile is your best option. The extended tongue provides a more secure lock than standard TG&V, which results in a straighter installation line, fewer visible fasteners, and improved dimensional stability over time.

This is especially useful for:

• Exposed walls where movement needs to be minimized

• Taller facades where alignment matters

• Projects in high-wind or moisture-prone environments

Combined with the natural tannins and oils of Western Red Cedar, which offer inherent resistance to rot, insects, and fungi, this cladding delivers not only on performance but also on longevity.

Ideal Applications of TG&V Longer Tongue Western Red Cedar Cladding

• High-end garden rooms & summerhouses

• Architectural façades & extensions

• Outdoor timber walls & soffits

• Premium residential & commercial timber builds

• Vertical timber design features with clean joint lines

Finish & Colour

All TG&V Longer Tongue boards are supplied with a smooth-planed finish, bringing out the rich tones of Canadian Western Red Cedar — from honey blondes to warm reddish browns. The timber can be left untreated to silver naturally over time, or finished with UV-protective oils to retain its colour.
