Crafted from home-grown British Western Red Cedar, these Tongue & Groove (T&G) boards offer a stylish, contemporary solution for cladding sheds, garden offices, and home exteriors. Each board is precisely machined and planed smooth, featuring a tongue and groove joint for a seamless, professional finish thats both durable and visually striking.
British Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insects, requiring no chemical treatment. Its light reddish-brown hues bring warmth and elegance to any design, gradually weathering to a soft silver-grey patina over time. With easy installation and low maintenance, this T&G profile provides a clean, modern appearance that complements both rustic and architectural builds.
Sustainably sourced and machined in the UK, this cedar cladding not only enhances exterior aesthetics but also supports environmentally responsible building practices.
