Moisture-Resistant Cedar Siding

Our Cedar Siding uses tight-grained Western Red Cedar. We back-prime every piece before it ships. This stops moisture from causing fading and splitting.

Our crews flash every window, door, and corner. A rain screen behind the cedar lets it dry fast after storms. Your siding stays sound for decades.

Cedar Siding in West Beach

Paragon Exteriors installs cedar siding in West Beach. Salt air and storms off Semiahmoo Bay are hard on siding. We build rain screens and flashings to handle that exposure.

We help West Beach clients with permits for siding, windows, and decks. We guide you through the paperwork so your home gets protection faster.

Cedar Siding Grades

Western Red Cedar siding is graded based on its appearance and grain direction. Clear vertical grain boards have tight, straight grain that reduces warping and gives a smooth surface for stain. Knotty grades have sound knots that add character but need end-sealing to stop moisture from wicking in.

Common profiles include bevel, channel, and tongue-and-groove. Bevel siding sheds water by overlapping each course over the one below. Installation uses stainless steel ring-shank nails driven into the framing, leaving a gap at butt joints for seasonal expansion.

Moisture Management

Cedar siding works as a rainscreen, separated from the sheathing by a drained and vented air gap. This gap stops capillary suction and lets bulk water drain freely, while ventilation helps dry the siding after it gets wet. The air space lowers the risk of moisture getting trapped, which can cause decay.

Flashing at window and door openings is layered like shingles, with head flashings placed over side flashings and the weather-resistant barrier behind them. At horizontal joints, Z-flashing directs water outward. Fasteners only go through the sheathing and framing, never the drainage plane, keeping the water-shedding system intact.

Local Bylaws for Cedar Siding

In the City of Vancouver, Building By-law No. 12511 limits where combustible cladding like cedar siding can be used. On buildings that must be noncombustible, cedar must meet fire performance standards or pass specific fire tests. This means your project may need fire-retardant-treated cedar or extra review to comply.

If your Vancouver home already requires noncombustible construction, By-law No. 10908 sets rules for adding or keeping cedar siding. It usually requires sprinklering, intumescent coatings, and a minimum of 12.7 mm exterior gypsum board sheathing with a flame-spread rating of 25 or less. These rules affect how cedar can be installed on existing multi-unit or detached buildings.

In the City of North Vancouver, Noise Control Bylaw No. 8885 limits construction noise to between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturdays, with no work allowed on Sundays or holidays. A cedar siding crew using saws and nail guns must work within these hours. If work needs to happen outside these times, they may need a noise exemption permit.
