western red cedar woodgrain aluminium finish woodgrain aluminium privacy screens

Western Red Cedar is the classic architectural softwood look - rich reddish-brown with soft, straight grain. On woodgrain aluminium privacy screens, 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.

On a made-to-measure screen, this finish does a working job as well as a visual one - the batten spacing is tuned to block a neighbour's sightline or hide pool gear while still letting the breeze move through, so the warmth of the grain comes with real privacy and airflow.

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 privacy screens, 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.

Where Western Red Cedar works best as privacy screens

The Western Red Cedar finish suits architectural battens, feature walls and entries. As privacy screens specifically, it is well placed on:
