Highest quality Cedar
We established Cedar Direct when we were unable to find a sustainable, high quality, cost effective source of Canadian Western Red Cedar in the UK.
However, whilst Canadian Western Red Cedar 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.
From our base in the South West of England we already had exceptional contacts with the 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, Western Red Cedar.
Ever since then we have championed the virtues and quality of Western Red Cedar, but recognised the need to offer the widest possible choice for our customers.
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 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 and fencing production.
As we grow, we will benefit from greater economies of scale which will drive our prices even lower.
