Durable Surfaces

Use cedar wood for its long-lasting beauty.
No other softwood has the rich beauty or long-lasting performance of cedar wood. The wood's cellular structure creates interior air spaces that give it an insulation value higher than most woods. Cedar also has excellent sound suppression and absorption qualities.

Use cedar wood for its dimensional stability.
Cedar wood acts like a sponge; when it absorbs moisture it swells and when it loses moisture it shrinks. Cedar wood has thinner cell walls which shrink and swell less than other woods, so Cedar is less likely to warp, split, cup or check.

Use cedar wood for its natural durability.
Cedar contains natural oils that act as preservatives to help the wood resist insect attack and decay. Cedar is also a dimensionally stable wood that lies flat and stays straight. Properly finished and maintained, Cedar ages gracefully and endures for many years.

Use cedar wood simply because it is a pleasure to use.
Cedar wood is a favorite with builders because it is lightweight but strong. It is easy to saw, nail and drill. Cedar wood has little or no messy pitch or resins.
