Summary: Western red cedar is arguably a popular timber used for external cladding. This is mainly due to the exceptional durability of the heartwood and the ease with which it can be worked. However, this report discusses the potential for two UK-grown species, Douglas fir and larch. These timbers have been benchmarked against western red cedar to determine their comparative properties as external cladding timbers during a two-year BRE project.
