Cedar 1/2x4 Vertical Grain V-Groove Paneling

Description

This is vertical grain, clear Grade A+ Western Red Cedar milled to 1/2x4 tongue-and-groove profile with a V-joint on both edges of the smooth face. Vertical grain orientation means the growth rings run perpendicular to the board face, which produces more uniform shrinkage and swelling as the wood cycles through heat and humidity — exactly the stability you want on sauna walls and ceilings.

The tongue-and-groove profile locks adjacent boards together edge to edge, eliminating gaps and creating a continuous surface that holds its shape over time. The double V-joint detail adds a clean shadow line between boards, giving the finished interior a refined, intentional look without any additional trim work. Clear Grade A+ means no knots interrupting the face — just consistent, tight grain from end to end.

Boards are available in lengths from 1 foot through 13 feet, so you can order closer to your actual cut list and reduce on-site waste. Western Red Cedar's natural oils also make it inherently resistant to moisture and the repeated thermal stress of a sauna environment.

Key Features

• Western Red Cedar species — naturally resistant to warping and moisture, making it well suited to the repeated wet-dry cycles inside a sauna
• Vertical grain milling — cuts the annual rings nearly perpendicular to the face, which substantially reduces seasonal movement across the board width and keeps joints tight
• Clear Grade A+ — knot-free faces prevent uneven heat spots and resin seepage on surfaces that may contact bare skin
• 1/2x4 tongue-and-groove profile — the interlocking edge allows boards to float and move together as a panel rather than as individual pieces, reducing the risk of gaps opening over time
• V-joint on 2 edges (V2E) of the smooth face — creates a defined shadow line at every joint for a finished, intentional appearance on walls and ceilings
• Available in 12 lengths (1 ft – 13 ft) — lets you match board length to your actual wall height or ceiling span to reduce cut-off waste on the job

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Sauna wood is not free shipping. Length, piece count, profile, and weight set the rate. These are the Bathing Brands contiguous-US flat rates. Canada is the same table plus $100. Alaska, Hawaii, and remote addresses are quoted.

Checkout charges the 8' piece-count table (contiguous US). Canada is the same table plus $100. Boards over 8' use that same checkout rate; dock or liftgate extras are a follow-up. Alaska, Hawaii, and remote addresses are quoted.

BOARDS UP TO 8'

Under 40 pieces generally ships FedEx Ground in cardboard. Over 40 pieces generally ships LTL with a liftgate on a wood pallet. The longest board in the order sets the rate tier.

• Under 19 boards — $195
• 20–39 boards — $395
• 40–99 boards — $495
• 100–299 boards — $695
• 300–499 boards — $895
• 500–799 boards — $995
• 800–999 boards — $1,295

BOARDS OVER 8' UP TO 10'

These lengths ship LTL on a wood pallet. They do not qualify for a liftgate — you need a dock, machinery, or hand offload on site. Carriers allow about one hour to unload before extra fees.

• Under 19 boards — $295
• 20–39 boards — $495
• 40–99 boards — $595
• 100–299 boards — $795
• 300–499 boards — $995
• 500–799 boards — $1,095
• 800–999 boards — $1,395

HOW THIS SHIPS

• We pack for a safe arrival at the lowest rate that fits the order.
• Boards over 8' carry a surcharge because long crates cost more to move than a standard skid.
• Heaters, doors, or accessories on the same order can offset some of that freight.
