TECHNICAL PROPERTIES
OF WESTERN RED CEDAR OUR PRODUCT
Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata), is one of North
America's great
renewable resources. Slow growing and naturally durable, Western
Red Cedar has one of the longest lifespans of any North
American softwood.
It produces long lengths of timber with true, straight grain. It is
free
from pitch, and its heartwood has natural decay resistance. Its low
density gives it an insulation value superior to most other species.
Western Red Cedar is light-weight, easy to work, easy to finish, and
possesses outstanding dimensional stability.
Western Red Cedar is the preferred wood for nearly
all purposes
where attractive appearance and resistance to weather is important.
