Options-Styles
Selkirk Cedar offers a premium selection of cedar siding, shakes, and shingles designed to enhance the natural beauty and durability of any building project. Their products are crafted from high-quality cedar, known for its inherent resistance to decay, insects, and weathering, ensuring a long-lasting and attractive exterior.
Siding Styles
- Cedar Lap Siding: This classic style provides a clean, traditional look with overlapping planks that create a distinct shadow line. Available in various widths and profiles to suit different architectural aesthetics.
- Cedar Bevel Siding: Similar to lap siding, bevel siding features a tapered plank where the top edge is thinner than the bottom, creating a pronounced shadow. This profile offers a more dramatic shadow line and a substantial feel.
- Cedar Tongue and Groove Siding: This system interlocks planks, creating a smooth, flush surface with no visible gaps. It offers a refined and modern appearance, suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
- Cedar Shingles: Known for their rustic charm and artisanal appeal, cedar shingles are individual pieces of wood that are applied in overlapping courses. They offer a unique, natural texture and are often used for accent areas or full exterior coverage.
- Cedar Shakes: Heavier and thicker than shingles, cedar shakes provide a more rustic and robust appearance. They are split from logs, giving them a more textured and dimensional look, often associated with traditional or historic architecture.
Trim Options
Complementing their siding offerings, Selkirk Cedar provides a range of cedar trim options. These trims are essential for framing windows, doors, corners, and eaves, adding definition and a polished finish to the exterior. Cedar trim is naturally resistant to rot and decay, making it an ideal choice for protecting vulnerable areas of the building envelope while contributing to the overall aesthetic.
Product Options and Finishes
Selkirk Cedar's products are typically available in their natural state, showcasing the inherent beauty and grain patterns of cedar. Depending on the specific product line, customers may have options for:
- Wood Grade: Different grades of cedar may be offered, influencing the appearance (e.g., number of knots) and price point.
- Milling Profiles: Beyond the basic siding styles, various edge profiles and surface textures can be available for a customized look.
- Lengths: Cedar products are typically offered in standard lengths, though custom lengths may be an option for certain applications.
- Pre-Finished Options: While many customers prefer to stain or seal cedar on-site to achieve their desired look, some product lines may be available pre-primed or with factory-applied finishes, offering convenience and a consistent appearance.
The inherent properties of cedar, such as its natural oils, provide a degree of protection. However, for optimal longevity and color retention, application of a suitable stain, sealer, or protective finish is often recommended and may be available as an option or recommended by the manufacturer.
