What You Need to Know About Cedar Siding

There is an extensive variety of cedar siding available for you to choose from for your home. Natural variations in the wood combined with wood stains create beautiful cedar siding that ranges in color from deep, rich red to pale, buttery gold and everything in between. Cedar siding often comes in the form of shingles. This type is also sometimes referred to as “cedar shake siding.” A major benefit that cedar siding provides is insulation. Due to the cell structure of the wood itself, air pockets are created that provide natural insulation properties that also help reduce noise!

When choosing your cedar siding – whether you go with the shake siding or cedar log siding – it is important that you make sure it is treated to resist not only water and termite damage, but fire. Cedar can be rather flammable, particularly as it ages, so you will want to make certain that your siding has been chemically treated to resist fire. It’s also a good idea to purchase extra materials to put away for the future. This will ensure that you have extra material that will match the rest of the siding if you need to make repairs in the future. You don’t want to have to replace a few shingles in 5 years’ time only to find out that you can’t get ahold of anything that even remotely matches your wood’s grain or stain!

The pricing on your new cedar siding will vary depending on which style you choose. The size of your home - as well as the treatments you choose - will also have an impact.
