The UK's only Cedar cladding specialist

The UK’s only Cedar cladding specialist

We established Cedar Direct when we were unable to find a sustainable, high quality, cost effective source of Canadian Western Red Cedar cladding in the UK.

However, whilst Canadian Western Red Cedar cladding is undoubtedly the ‘gold standard product’ it is expensive to harvest and import into the UK. We also found that we were working on an increasing number of projects where sustainability, low carbon footprint and minimal environmental impact was at the heart of the design. This led us to evaluate whether locally grown alternatives were a viable option.

Championing British Cedar cladding

Championing British Cedar cladding

From our base in the South West of England we already had exceptional contacts with the local timber supply chain; from forest, to harvesting and round timber processing. It was through these contacts that we found our first sources of sustainably managed, British Western Red Cedar.

Ever since then we have championed the virtues and quality of the British grown alternative, but recognised the need to offer the widest possible choice for our customers.

Cost leadership in Cedar cladding

Cost leadership in Cedar cladding

Our supply chain, machinery and processes have been optimised from the outset to ensure that we can offer the lowest cost British and Canadian Western Red Cedar cladding in the market. We buy direct from source instead of an agent.

We own all of our tooling, plant and processing facilities, hence have minimal overheads compared to our competition. There is no waste; we recycle and reuse everything. Cedar pellets and shavings are the only by-product from cladding production.

As we grow, we will benefit from greater economies of scale which will drive our prices even lower.
