Durability - Western Red
Cedar fibers have natural preservatives that fight decay-causing
fungi, thereby resisting not only decay, but also moisture and
insect infestation. These natural preservatives make cedar one
of the most durable woods in the world. Cedar can be used
indoors rustic furniture or outdoors rustic furniture.
Workability - Western Red
Cedar rustic furniture has long straight grains, a uniform
texture and is lightweight. These cedar timbers can be easily
cut and planed to a smooth surface. The wood can be worked with
standard tools, and its lack of pitch and resin allows the wood
to hold bonds from a variety of glues while providing a good
base for paints and stains.
Stability - Western Red
Cedar has low density and shrinkage factors. Because of these
factors it has twice the stability of most softwood that is
available. These cedar wood characteristics allow it to lie
flat, maintain its straight shape and to hold fastenings
tightly. Cedar also has excellent thermal insulation values that
matches its use in cabin decor and furnishing.
Flame Spread - Western Red
Cedar's excellent flame spread and smoke development
classifications exceed safety minimums required by most building
codes. These characteristics allow the wood to be used without
preservative treatments and thus making it more safe for cabin
decor.
Suitable for all Weather Conditions
- Western Red Cedar's natural resistance to decay, moisture and
insects make it suitable for applications exposed to harsh
weather conditions. Properly finished, the wood will last for
decades in year-round sun, rain, heat and cold. Search for and
