When it comes to decking there is no better choice than Western Red Cedar. This unique species has long been the preferred decking material for homeowners and professional contractors in North America and it is now gaining popularity here in the UK.

Western Red Cedar offers superb value for money when you consider its unbeatable quality, appearance and longevity. The natural oils in cedar help make the wood resistant to decay and insect attack, increasing its durability and weatherability without the use of chemical treatments. It's dimensionally stable much more so than other woods so there is minimal shrinkage; a deck will stay straight and sturdy.

Above all, the wood has a beauty all of its own with colours, grains, and textures unmatched by any other decking material. If you want colours other than Cedar's own natural tones, the wood can easily be stained. Properly constructed and maintained, a cedar deck will look good for years, adding prestige and value to your project.

Silva also stocks stains and finishes for your decking, from industry leaders including Cabot, Owatrol and Sikkens.
