No matter how you look at it, cedar defines the experience.⁠

From the ground looking up, the full envelope comes into view - walls, balconies, soffits, all wrapped in Premium Western Red Cedar. The grain, the warmth, the natural variation in tone - it's not just cladding, it's the architecture itself. Every angle tells the same story: cohesive, intentional, and unmistakably Western Red Cedar.⁠

At our state-of-the-art mill, Selkirk produces cedar that's kiln-dried for stability and precision-milled for clean installation - so teams can execute full-building envelopes with confidence and consistency across every surface.⁠

One material is all it takes to warm up bold modern architecture.⁠

Glass and geometry give the Calgary Public Library its edge. But, look up and you’ll find what gives it soul: a sweeping cedar soffit that brings warmth, rhythm, and texture to an otherwise cool engineered composition. Premium Western Red Cedar doesn’t soften the design so much as complete it. Its natural grain and tonal variation grounding all that glass and steel in something you actually want to stand beneath. And on award-winning projects like this, you want the best.⁠

That’s where Selkirk Cedar comes in. Kiln-dried for dimensional stability and milled to a smooth, stain-ready finish, our cedar delivers the tight tolerances and board-to-board consistency high-visibility public projects demand - where every line is seen and every joint is judged.⁠

What happens when you pair bold design choices with a material that lets them shine? You get showstopping spaces.⁠

Take this kitchen, for example: the architect went all in on bright red cabinetry - and it lands because cedar does what it does best, wrapping the room in warmth without fighting for attention. Premium Selkirk Western Red Cedar’s natural grain and tonal depth anchor a daring palette, letting every design-forward choice feel intentional rather than loud. The result is a space that’s both striking and easy to be in.⁠

Milled for precision and graded for consistency, Selkirk boards are made for interiors where every surface is seen up close - and every material choice is deliberate.⁠

A floating cedar deck and a cedar soaker - that’s it. No fuss, no overbuilding, just the essentials, stripped back so the setting can take centre stage.

And at our state-of-the-art mill, Selkirk produces durable, dimensionally stable boards built for the long haul, even where wood and water meet daily.⁠

How do you build a modern multi-housing project that's warm, unified and anything but cookie-cutter?⁠

Start with premium Selkirk Western Red Cedar siding. It's the kind of move that gives each unit stature and street presence while keeping the project cohesive and welcoming. The rich tonal variation means no two façades read exactly the same, even within the same design language. That's the natural nuance that sets a development apart from standard spec builds.⁠

Produced from highest quality fibre and manufactured to the highest standards, Selkirk Cedar siding lets architects and builders specify with confidence across every unit in the build.⁠
