Is your cedar siding specially engineered cedar to make it more resistant? Where could I find this material?

13 years ago

I am just starting a remodeling of a townhouse in Old Town, Alexandria in VA and part of the project is adding a roof terrace. I like the look of your project very much.

I wanted to use Millenium Tiles but BAR does not approve.

It is not a special cedar. It is 2" x 2" cedar over a rain screen installation. There are gaps of 1/4" between each board. We used a clear coat on the cedar, but the wood itself is nothing special. If you need assistance, please feel free to get in touch.

Thanks for the nice words.

Kevin: so kind of you to answer so quickly! Thank you. We are just getting started and I was SO happy to find Houzz. I can't believe I did 2 huge renovations in 4 unit buildings in past 2 years (DC, Hoboken) not knowing about Houzz. I am know doing my own house so it's never too late!
