Western Red Cedar Ceiling & Soffit Linings
The Western Red Cedar woodgrain finish on woodgrain aluminium ceiling and soffit linings: rich reddish-brown with soft, straight grain - the warmth of timber, none of the upkeep.
Western Red Cedar is the classic architectural softwood look - rich reddish-brown with soft, straight grain. On woodgrain aluminium ceiling and soffit linings, that grain is sublimated into a baked architectural powder coat over marine-grade aluminium, so you get the look of Western Red Cedar timber with none of the oiling, warping, splitting or rot.
Overhead, this finish lines eaves, alfresco ceilings and soffits - exactly where natural timber weathers, sags and peels first - so the grain brings warmth to the space underneath while staying flat and sound in the weather.
The timeless architectural timber, reimagined in aluminium. Western Red Cedar's warm red-brown depth flatters battens and feature walls without the splitting and fading of the real thing. As ceiling & soffit linings, it carries that character while staying non-combustible, UV-stable and dimensionally stable - the practical way to keep a Western Red Cedar look on a project that has to last.
Where Western Red Cedar works best as ceilings
The Western Red Cedar finish suits architectural battens, feature walls and entries. As ceilings specifically, it is well placed on:
- Eaves and external soffit linings
- Alfresco and patio ceilings
- Entry and portico ceilings
- Carport and garage ceilings
- Commercial canopy soffits
- Feature interior ceilings
