Classic Architect Knotty Or Painter’s Choice®?


Painter’s Choice® Finger-Jointed Clear Siding (Left) caters to artists seeking a pristine canvas. Its clear surface, devoid of knots, provides an ideal backdrop for painting, ensuring that every stroke is showcased with clarity. Whether drawn to the rugged charm of knots or desiring a flawless painting surface, the choice between Classic Knotty and Painter’s Choice® hinges on personal aesthetic preferences.

For those captivated by a rugged charm, Classic Knotty Western Red Cedar Siding (Right) stands as the embodiment of traditional allure. Characterized by knots and a more pronounced wood grain, it adds authenticity and warmth to any exterior.

Additionally, upon request, we can also offer a 'Rough Side' Painter’s Choice® Finger-Jointed Siding. This option serves as a medium-grain option that sits between the other two and offers a unique finish of its own once painted.

Why Western Red Cedar Wood?

The Western Red Cedar Advantage

Aesthetically, it is a naturally stunning building material with deep, tonal properties that accentuate the richly textured wood grains and exposed heartwood.

It is both pitch and resin-free, which means that it can hold a variety of finishes from semi-transparent stains to elegant dark stains. It is also incredibly durable and will prove to keep your structure attractive for years to come.

For centuries, the Western Red Cedar has been celebrated by the Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations as the “Tree of Life” using it to build longhouses, canoes, and totem poles. Thousands of years later red cedar continues to be a preferred building material.

Red cedar’s reputation for being a naturally durable wood makes it perfect for all outdoor projects. The wood is lightweight and valued for its high natural resistance and decay properties.

It is less susceptible to moisture, insect damage, and fungi growth. Cedar is also water damage resistant and can successfully weather long periods of heavy rain and other weather extremes such as snow, hail, and strong winds.

With its unsurpassed natural beauty, centuries of proven performance, low environmental impact, and natural resistance to decay/insects it’s clear to see the advantage of quality Western Red Cedar.
