lizzie Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I have decided on Western Red Cedar. I like the Russwood Architect Select RW115 profile for a vertical clad and am interested in their Sioo coating. I saw some old threads about this and using it with larch but has anyone tried it with WRC. I have a few bits outside 'weathering' but as I only did them last week and I will need to clad around May this year I doubt I will get any sort of result on my samples before I need to order. I am only cladding the west and east elevations North and South will be rendered. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Hi Lizzie. Somewhere I have seen a research article / presentation that shows a timeline of weathering for a variety of woods. There is a guy called Ivor Davis who is a bit of guru and has published widely. It is sometimes a bit heavy but you get both barrels - try here as a start: http://www.woodknowledgewales.co.uk/files/Cladding Design Performance and Installation - Presentation by Ivor Davies 2012.pdf Found this picture here.

So many things to think about with cladding, glad we are building single storey! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oranjeboom Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi Lizzie, I'm looking to buy my WRC very soon as many timber merchants are now (if not already) raising their prices due to the post-Brexit world and poor Canadian dollar:GBP forex. Prices up by as much as 25-30%! So buy quick, if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
