Cedar cladding from John Brash has been used to clad a social housing development in Basingstoke. Approximately 2,000m of the company's cedar cladding was installed over the brick structure, some of which was treated with the Non-Com Exterior fire retardant process. The product was chosen to contrast with the brickwork and also for its durability, since it has a natural resistance to decay and insect attack. Non-Com Exterior also meets the fire requirements for cedar shingles and fire performance for external cladding. Non-hazardous and non-toxic, the leach resistant process is applied by full-cell pressure treatment to make the wood fire retardant for the life of the timber cladding or cedar shingles.

Bath and North East Somerset Council has chosen vertical cedar boarding from John Brash for the external cladding of two new primary schools in Radstock, near Bath. Of all the available cladding options, cedar most satisfied the client's objectives, the company claims. As a natural, renewable product it has a low environmental impact. It is also naturally resistant to decay and insect attack which means that the use of chemical preservatives could be avoided.
