Western Red Cedar Aluminium Facade Systems

The Western Red Cedar woodgrain finish on woodgrain aluminium facade systems: rich reddish-brown with soft, straight grain - the warmth of timber, none of the upkeep.

Western Red Cedar is the classic architectural softwood look - rich reddish-brown with soft, straight grain. On woodgrain aluminium facade systems, that grain is sublimated into a baked architectural powder coat over marine-grade aluminium, so you get the look of Western Red Cedar timber with none of the oiling, warping, splitting or rot.

As a facade system, this finish becomes a whole-building skin - board cladding, batten blades and soffits coordinated in one grain - so the timber look reads at scale while the non-combustible substrate keeps the external wall on the right side of the NCC.

The timeless architectural timber, reimagined in aluminium. Western Red Cedar's warm red-brown depth flatters battens and feature walls without the splitting and fading of the real thing. As aluminium facade systems, it carries that character while staying non-combustible, UV-stable and dimensionally stable - the practical way to keep a Western Red Cedar look on a project that has to last.
