VERSATILITY – Western red cedar is pitch and resin-free. Imagine – all that dynamism packed into one beautiful building material! No wonder Real Cedar is a designer’s dream come true. Imbued with decidedly crisp, yet superbly rich, tonal properties, Real Cedar can create sublime outdoor sanctuaries, embolden traditional home decor, provoke cutting-edge architecture and inspire innovative interiors. Decide whether you want a paint, solid stain, or semi-transparent stain and use these helpful guidelines for choosing a paint or stain: Finishing TipsīEAUTY – Aesthetically, there really is no substitute for the natural beauty of Real Cedar. Use a high quality paint or stain to finish your Wavy Edge Siding. Save pieces with the least amount of wave for short cuts. Swapping pieces up or down can help you achieve your preferred randomness and look. Due to the natural variety of each piece, it's a good idea to lay out the boards ahead of installation to make sure the natural waviness has a variety that meets your desired look. This will make it look like one solid piece without odd irregular butt joints Because each piece is different with natural variety, we recommend that you try and align butt joints based on the depth of the "wave" of the cedar to match the exposure at the butt joint. You can lap more if needed to achieve your desired look and exposure. Wavy Edge Cedar has a random and natural width variation. For best results, scarf joint all butt joints and align and fasten at the stud For best results, face fasten at 16" o.c. Nails should penetrate the solid wood base at least 1-1/2" We recommend a 10d splitless siding nail, preferably a ring shank nail Other types of nails will react with the Cedar and should never be used. Stainless Steel or Hot-dipped galvanized nails are recommended. Keep off the ground or concrete at least 6" and let it acclimate for a couple of days before installing. Don't let it weather and sit in the sun for an extended period of time. Keep your Wavy Edge Cedar protected from the elements and covered under a high quality tarp or under roof. We do not recommend using with other lap siding. Pair with brick, stone, board and batten, or stucco siding. Focus on the front or main vantage point of the home/building
Gables, dormers, and select siding sections look best While we'd love to sell it everywhere, we think Wavy Edge Cedar works best as an accent siding that accentuates the entire structure Stucco siding complimented with Wavy Edge Tips:
