Maibec — Quality & Uniqueness
This is a popular siding for cottage country. Maibec sidings have been around a lot of years now and have proven to be a good choice for keeping a rustic look while providing low maintenance. Our store has a wide array of standard colours, and you can even get custom colours made. One of the things that makes Maibec great is that they are a large company that deals with the wood all the way from the forest to the consumer — most competing manufacturers have to buy their wood.
There is nothing like genuine wood. Organic, solid, stable and naturally resistant to the elements, it has enhanced the beauty of homes for hundreds of years. You can achieve stunning effects with the right mix and match of various types of profiled siding (horizontally and vertically), or even combine profiled siding with white cedar shingles.
Maibec — more detail
Maibec offers you a 50-year warranty against wood decay, a 15-year warranty on two coats of solid stain (extendable up to 30 years) and a 5-year warranty on labour.
FSC® certified siding available upon request.
As of April 1, 2011, Maibec began offering a semi-transparent line of treated wood called Natural Tones. Download the Natural Tones PDF.
In April 2012, Maibec introduced a new line of end-matched profiles in 1×6″.
In June 2014, thanks to Maibec’s innovative brushing process, the Maibec URBAHN Series introduced a brushed face that lets the wood grain shine through — ideal for contemporary architecture. It is available in all the MODERN and RABBETED BEVEL em+ siding profiles, in Natural Tones or solid finishes.

Unfinished Wood
Unfinished wood
Natural cedar and pine, ready to finish to your taste.
Cedar
Cedar compliments any architectural design — from turn-of-the-century to contemporary. The following information is from the Western Red Cedar Association.
Western Red Cedar — more detail
Colours
Unfinished cedar has a richly textured grain with colours ranging from mellow ambers and reddish cinnamons to rich sienna browns. Its warm colouring is complimented by a uniform, fine-grained texture with a satin lustre.
Easy finishing
Because cedar is virtually pitch and resin free, the wood easily accepts a range of finishes, from fine oils and stains to solid coatings and paint.
Usages
Enhance the beauty and elegance of your home or commercial property with cedar siding, decking, moulding, windows, doors, posts, beams, panelling, outdoor projects, interiors and saunas.
Aroma
Cedar’s unique aroma comes from naturally occurring thujaplicins in its heartwood. These compounds resist moisture and are toxic to decay-causing fungi and insects, preserving the wood and giving it long-lasting appeal.
Acoustic insulation
The acoustic properties of cedar walls and ceilings provide sound insulation that helps quieten rooms. Surround yourself in the beauty of cedar.
Pine
Red Pine is found in Eastern North America and derives its name from the reddish colour of its bark. It measures 60 to 90 feet tall on average, sometimes growing as high as 120 feet. Its grain is more pronounced than that of white pine, and almost as durable — with the advantage of being a harder, stronger wood. Red Pine is used for construction, outdoor work and the manufacture of woodwork, mouldings, floors, panellings and siding.
The profiles with the black dot are the ones we stock. Please note that we only have certain widths in each profile.
Hardboard
Engineered hardboard
Pressure-fused engineered wood siding, prefinished for durability.
CanExel
CanExel prefinished siding is produced from wood fibre, resin and wax fused under pressure. This engineered wood siding is highly stable and highly resistant to moisture. It also helps optimize our forests’ yield by making the most of technological advances — in short, it does more with less, naturally. CanExel siding is finished in the plant, resulting in durable, easy-maintenance products with all the beauty and nobility of wood.
CanExel — quality and testing
CanExel siding products are subjected to a continuous quality-control process, from forest to finish. Rigorous testing helps assure that each product meets the highest standards of quality.
Advanced baked-on finish: the finish on CanExel siding consists of five coats of baked-on paint plus a sealer, providing increased resistance to cracking, splitting, warping, splintering and buckling of the substrate.
“7-climate” testing: CanExel siding has been tested outdoors in seven different climates throughout North America — the intense cold of the Canadian north, the tropical humidity of Florida, the scorching heat of the Arizona desert, the salty air of the Nova Scotia seacoast and the winds of the Saskatchewan prairies.
UV resistance: in every climate zone, CanExel siding is subjected to UV-resistance tests using 45° tilt walls that triple the damaging effects of the sun. In every instance, CanExel products have withstood the most extreme conditions without damage to the substrate.
