Options-Styles
Real Cedar offers a distinctive collection of cedar wall paneling, designed to bring the natural beauty and enduring quality of Western Red Cedar into interior spaces. This product line focuses on providing aesthetically pleasing and functional finishes for a variety of applications.
The style of Real Cedar's wall panels centers on showcasing the inherent characteristics of cedar. This includes its rich color variations, ranging from warm honey tones to deep reddish-browns, as well as its natural grain patterns and subtle knots. The natural oils and resins present in Western Red Cedar also contribute to its aromatic quality and inherent resistance to decay and insect damage, adding both sensory and practical appeal.
Real Cedar provides a selection of options within their cedar paneling offerings to cater to diverse design preferences and project requirements. These options primarily revolve around:
- Wood Grade: Different grades of cedar are available, each offering a distinct look. Clear grades, for example, will have fewer knots and a more uniform appearance, while knotty grades showcase the characteristic knots of the wood for a more rustic or traditional feel.
- Profile/Milling: The milling of the cedar boards can vary. Common profiles include tongue-and-groove, shiplap, and tongue-and-groove with a V-groove or square edge. These profiles influence the visual lines created when the panels are installed and can affect the ease of installation.
- Surface Finish: While cedar is often appreciated in its natural state, options may include pre-finished panels or recommendations for finishes that enhance or protect the wood's natural appearance. This could involve clear sealants or light stains that do not obscure the wood's natural beauty.
- Board Width and Length: Panels are typically available in a range of standard widths and lengths, allowing for flexibility in design and installation to suit different wall sizes and layouts.
These options allow designers and homeowners to achieve specific aesthetic goals, from a clean, modern look with clear cedar to a cozy, cabin-like ambiance with knotty grades. The natural durability and beauty of Western Red Cedar make it a premium choice for interior walls, including feature walls, accent areas, and full room applications.
