Dolly Varden Siding
Description
Dolly Varden siding is an exceptional cladding material for exterior walls and soffits or interior walls and ceilings.
Clear, vertical grain Western Red Cedar heartwood in a 7-Ply construction delivers a stronger, more durable result than solid cedar.
WUI-approved, Dolly Varden cedar siding can be applied directly to soffit joists in California’s High Fire Severity Zone.
Why Choose Dolly Varden Cedar Siding?
Dolly Varden siding combines the natural beauty of clear vertical-grain Western Red Cedar with a stable engineered 7-ply construction. The result is a durable, refined cedar cladding material with consistent grain, excellent dimensional stability, and a clean finished appearance.
Because it is designed for exterior and interior applications, Dolly Varden cedar siding is a versatile choice for projects that call for warm natural wood without sacrificing performance. Its tongue-and-groove design creates a tight, polished installation for walls, soffits, ceilings, and other architectural details.
