Canadian Western Red Cedar Cladding – TLAC Staggered Tongue & Groove
Secure world-class architectural timber directly from our highly advanced Somerset milling facility. Canadian Western Red Cedar is globally recognised as the ultimate premium cladding material, boasting exceptional dimensional stability, very few knots, and a stunningly rich, uniform colour palette. When strictly machined into the TLAC profile, it delivers a heavily textured, dynamically staggered surface that actively breaks up flat elevations. This imported Canadian timber is absolutely perfect for high-end luxury developments demanding rigorous durability and absolute aesthetic perfection.
Mechanical Profile Advantages
The highly specialized TLAC profile is explicitly designed to solve complex commercial installation challenges requiring deep visual texture. By alternating the board depths, the interlocking tongue and groove mechanism creates a highly dynamic, 3D staggered facade that casts beautiful, variable shadows throughout the day.
Because our master machinists utilise strictly heavy duty carbide tooling, the complex offset joints sit absolutely perfectly together. This precise dimensional accuracy actively ensures a completely seamless, secure installation across expansive commercial elevations, providing immense structural rigidity alongside its exceptional staggered aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Advice
Why specify the TLAC profile in Canadian Cedar?
Choosing Canadian Western Red Cedar immediately provides a world-class, premium grade timber boasting exceptional dimensional stability and a stunningly uniform rich colour. When machined specifically into the highly architectural TLAC profile, you actively combine this premium aesthetic with rigorous weather deflection and structural integrity.
Why choose Canadian Cedar over British Cedar?
While British Cedar is highly celebrated for its rustic, knotty character, Canadian Western Red Cedar is typically supplied in a strict clear grade, meaning it is virtually knot-free. It also offers a much richer, uniform colour palette and slightly higher natural dimensional stability.
