Engineered Cedar Products

Engineered Cedar: Efficient Elegance

What is Engineered Cedar?

Engineered cedar products can be smaller pieces, or even full-size individual pieces of solid sawn lumber that have been mechanically joined and glued to each other, performing very well when coated with a machine or factory primed or finished coating on all six sides. Processes vary by manufacturer and product but some of the most common processes are finger jointing and edge gluing. The products are engineered to perform just like or even better than solid sawn lumber and can have advantages like increased strength and increased availability of popular lengths.

Characteristics & Properties

Engineered Cedar offers a unique blend of elegance and efficiency, combining high aesthetic value and judicious use of fiber. The products are applied and fastened in the same manner as the solid sawn originals and are more consistently available in the more desirable lengths.  Among the three main types of innovative cedar products, all of them are decorative and designed to enhance indoor and outdoor living spaces:

1. Solid Engineered Clear Cedar 

Solid Engineered Cedar offers all the beauty and dimensional stability of premium solid cedar but its fiber recovery process ensures a responsible approach to resource consumption. With unmatched aesthetic appeal and resource efficiency, it meets the demands of modern design with a clean streamlined look.

2. Solid Engineered Knotty Cedar   

For those seeking extra long lengths of timber for trim and fascia, Solid Engineered Cedar is a readily available solution. Visually, it provides a rustic yet refined look, allowing architects and developers to incorporate the warmth and authenticity of knotty cedar while ensuring durability and source long length boards usually used in fascia applications..

3. Veneer Overlaid Tongue and Groove Cedar

When a uniform, fine-grained look is the goal, Veneer Overlaid T&G Cedar is an excellent option. This application creates striking interior or exterior spaces, capturing the natural beauty of cedar. Moreover, with only ⅛” thick clear veneer bonded to a back piece, it guarantees a more sustainable use of resources.

Engineered Cedar can be used in a variety of ways!

The top 3 areas to consider using Engineered products are:

  • Timbers
  • Siding/Paneling
  • Facia and Trim

Here are some of the common applications of Engineered Cedar:

  • Wall shingle panels
  • Indoor paneling for walls and ceilings (T&G)
  • Outdoor siding (T&G, bevel, lap)
  • Outdoor soffit, trim, fascia (T&G, boards)
  • Outdoor porch ceilings (T&G)
  • Porches and pergolas (Timbers)
