Elite™ Western Red Cedar Bevel Siding and Trim

When properly finished and maintained, Western Red Cedar is an ideal choice as a bevel siding material. WRC Siding is a very popular wood siding material as it combines its traditional aesthetic appeal with a natural resistance to decay and attack from insects. Western Red Cedar is also pitch and resin-free, providing it with the added benefit of excellent acceptance of paints and stains.

Elite Bevel Solid siding is a consistent and superior quality of Western Red Cedar and is available in three grades:

• Clear VG (graded for the smooth face)
• AYE (graded for the smooth face)
• AYE TEX (graded for the rough face)

Elite Clear Finger Joint Bevel Siding is also available in three grades:

• Clear VG (graded for the smooth face)
• AYE (graded for the smooth face)
• AYE TEX (graded for the resawn face)

Finishing and Maintenance:

• All finishes adhere and perform better when applied to fresh, unweathered wood.
• Storing the siding dry prior to installing is the best preventative measure. Store indoors, or on top of a moisture barrier with good airflow within the unit.
• Giving the siding time to acclimatize with the local environment before it is installed will minimize movement later on and provide a better surface for the application of the finish coating.
• For best results, Western Red Cedar should be coated on all sides before installation. Factory finishing, where all available, is preferred method.
• Custom Pre-Finished Elite Cedar Clapboards are available from Quality Wood Priming!
• Power washers are not recommended for use on Western Red Cedar.
