FSC Certified Cedar Siding
AltruWood’s AltruCedar siding is FSC certified western red cedar from British Columbia. It comes in a variety of sizes, grades, and patterns making it perfect for most siding applications.
Western red cedar is known for its rich, reddish hues that can vary from amber to chocolate brown. Depending on the finish, specifying color can be just as important as specifying the grade and pattern.
We sort our western red cedar by color in addition to grade resulting in our customers receiving the highest desired appearance.
