Western Red Cedar’s natural durability makes it the premier choice for siding, decking, outdoor living spaces and other exterior home use. When properly installed and maintained, Western Red Cedar can provide a lifetime of service.
Chalk it up to great genes: Western Red Cedar fibres contain natural compounds that act as preservatives, making the wood extremely long-lasting. These compounds provide natural resistance to moisture, insects and decay.
Its high performance qualities make it easy to build with and maintain. The even grain and consistent density mean Western Red Cedar is less likely than other soft- or hardwoods to swell, warp, cup or twist. The result is a distinctive appearance that lends quality to any home. Its light weight and consistency make it ideal to handle, cut, saw, nail and glue — even a handsaw easily cuts through it.
