Western Red Cedar

DURABILITY

Western Red Cedar offers unrivalled durability, even without the use of coating. Its natural preservatives, such as thujaplicins and thujic acid, act as a built-in resistance to harsh weather conditions, termites, moisture and decay. It is also the ideal choice for any project because of its fire-hazard prevention properties.

STABILITY

With excellent dimensional stability, Western Red Cedar exhibits minimal shrinkage, warping or twisting over time. Its low density and straight grain contribute to its stability, making it less prone to movement and cracking compared to other wood species. With the right engineering, Western Red Cedar timber can also meet various acoustic ratings.

AESTHETICS

Celebrated for its natural beauty, Western Red Cedar showcases a diverse spectrum of hues ranging from gentle amber to deep, reddish-brown tones. It’s fine, straight grain and consistent, velvety texture imbue it with a timeless allure that has rendered it as a favoured option for prestigious architectural design.

MAINTENANCE

Western Red Cedar requires minimal maintenance to preserve its appearance and durability. Regular cleaning and sealing can help protect it against weathering and maintain its natural colour.

SUSTAINABILITY

Western Red Cedar is a highly sustainable and renewable wood type, with responsible forestry practices ensuring its continued availability. When it comes to environmental performance, Western Red Cedar is the optimal choice for sustainability.
