Cedar Siding Benefits
Cedar siding adds warmth and character that manufactured materials can’t match. In our coastal climate, proper installation and sealing are key. Poor installation can cause your investment to turn grey and spongy in just a few seasons.
We avoid this by using vertical-grain heartwood with tight growth rings. This is the most stable and decay-resistant wood. Every board is back-primed and end-sealed before installation. The result is a tight, rain-shedding exterior you won’t have to worry about. It’s the same approach we use for cedar siding in Vancouver homes, where damp air is a constant challenge.
New Westminster homes deal with dampness from the Fraser River and heavy seasonal rain. Older homes often have original siding that has worn out after years of exposure. Replacing it is not just for looks; it’s vital for the whole building’s protection.
We work on the character homes that shape neighborhoods like Queen’s Park and Sapperton. These houses need siding that lets moisture escape while keeping rain out. Our installation methods in New Westminster tackle the extra humidity with rainscreen details and corrosion-resistant fasteners, ensuring your new cedar stays straight and sound.
Cedar Siding Installation Techniques
We use vertical-grain heartwood Western Red Cedar with tight growth rings. This wood is kiln-dried to a stable moisture level, which is important for New Westminster’s damp air. Each board gets a back-prime and end-seal with oil-based primer before installation. This helps prevent moisture from wicking at the cut ends.
Installation starts with a weather-resistant barrier over the sheathing. Then, we add vertical furring strips to create a true rainscreen. Cedar boards are blind-nailed through the tongue or top edge using stainless steel ring-shank nails. This allows the wood to expand. We leave a 1/8-inch gap between boards to handle changes in humidity throughout the seasons.
After installation, we apply a breathable, water-repellent stain or paint. This system allows vapor to escape while keeping rain out. We caulk joints at trim with high-grade sealant. However, horizontal board ends remain open to allow drainage and prevent moisture from being trapped.
In New Westminster’s wet coastal climate, a rainscreen assembly is very important. By building an air gap behind the cedar siding with vertical strapping, we create a space that drains any water that gets past the surface. This design also helps the siding dry out through airflow.
Flashing details seal the building at every transition. We overlap head flashings over window and door trim. We also install corrosion-resistant metal at corners and integrate the weather-resistant barrier in a shingle style so that water always moves outward. The bottom course has a drip edge and a screened vent to keep insects out while allowing the cavity to breathe.
All fasteners are stainless steel with a ring-shank design. This prevents rust and helps resist pullout in high-moisture areas. We keep fastening patterns tight against the sheathing to handle the wind exposure typical for New Westminster. This ensures the siding stays secure while allowing the wood to move naturally.
