WESTERN RED CEDAR - BEAUTIFUL & VERSATILE

Western Red Cedar is a top choice for outdoor projects like siding, decking, and ceilings—and for good reason! This durable wood is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect attacks, ensuring anything you build with it will stand the test of time. Its resilience means your outdoor structures will not only look beautiful but also require less maintenance over the years. With its timeless aesthetic and unmatched durability, Western Red Cedar is the ideal material for creating long-lasting, low-maintenance outdoor spaces.

It’s Biophilic

Research proves that “greenness” has a measurable impact on occupants. And not just in residential applications. In retail and hospitality, it enhances customer experience. In healthcare, it contributes to faster healing. In workspaces, it promotes productivity and boosts morale. As urbanization continues, factoring these benefits into modern design is more crucial than ever.

It’s Beautiful

Aesthetically, there really is no substitute for the natural beauty of Real Cedar. Imbued with decidedly crisp, yet superbly rich, tonal properties, Real Cedar can create sublime outdoor sanctuaries, embolden traditional home decor, provoke cutting-edge architecture and inspire innovative interiors. Imagine – all that dynamism packed into one beautiful building material! No wonder Real Cedar is a designer’s dream come true.

It’s Versatile

Western red cedar is pitch and resin-free. Which means it’s ideal for accepting and holding a wide range of beautiful finishes including elegant dark stains, shabby chic bleaches, traditional solid colours and naturally beautiful semi-transparents. Real Cedar also offers a wide range of lumber dimensions, surface textures and grades. Ergo, no matter what your desired effect is, Real Cedar’s got the wood for you.

It’s Sustainable

Independent studies prove that when it comes to environmental performance, natural wood is superior to synthetic products in every way. While other building materials generate greenhouse gasses, western red cedar actually removes greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. And unlike brick, cement and composites, Real Cedar is renewable and biodegradable. Plus, Real Cedar is sourced from the most sustainably managed forests in the world.
