Types of Wavy Cedar Wood Siding

Beveled Edge

• Beveled edge wavy cedar siding offers attractive shadowing and increased protection from water damage. Beveled planks have a top edge that is thinner than the bottom edge. They are designed for overlapping installation. The sloping planks allow rainwater or snow-melt to run easily off the house without pooling or becoming trapped. The thick, wavy bottom edge provides a natural look that casts a slight shadow, adding to the detailed appearance of the siding.

Prechinked

• Historically, chinking was a cement-based product used to seal large joints between logs in wood homes. Modern chinking products offer better flexibility and durability than their traditional cousins. Prechinked wavy cedar siding has hand-hewn, waved channels that come prefilled with chinking. The chinking is largely decorative and gives a historic look to new construction.

Natural-Edged

• Natural-edged wavy cedar comes rough cut as opposed to with a hand-carved, sanded and finished edge. Its edges follow the grain of the wood and are irregular and rough. The beveled top edge slopes into a wavy edge that varies in width along the length of the board. Natural-edged wavy cedar creates a natural and authentic look.

Benefits of Cedar

• Cedar is an excellent choice for siding. It is naturally resistant to decay and to insect damage, and it resists warping and cracking when exposed to variations in moisture and temperature. It creates additional insulation for homes in cold environments. It is lightweight, easy to install and harvested using environmentally friendly practices, according to the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association.
