Western Red Cedar
(Thuja Plicata) is renowned for its natural beauty and outstanding physical properties that make it one of the world's most unique softwood species. This exceptionally beautiful wood has natural coloring in mellow ambers, reddish cinnamons and rich sienna browns. Its warm coloring is complimented by a uniform, fine-grained texture with a satin luster.
Natural Durability
Western Red Cedar is one of the few wood species that are naturally at home in the outdoors. It is classified as a durable wood by the building codes, which permits the use of its heartwood in exterior applications without preservative treatments. The heartwood contains extractives that are toxic to decay causing fungi. The two principal extractives that are responsible for the decay resistance are Thujaplicans and water soluble phenolics. The trees ability to produce these extractives increases with age making the outer regions of heartwood the most durable.
Thermal Insulating Properties
Western Red Cedar is an excellent thermal insulator. The low density and presence of air spaces make it the best insulator of any available softwood. These exceptional thermal insulating properties protect a building from the extremes of heat and cold.
Termite Resistance
The death rate of termites consuming Western Red Cedar varies with fiber source and the species of termites from 100% in several days to 40% in several weeks. Termites prefer food sources other than Western Red Cedar.
Workability
Western Red Cedar has a fine, straight grain and uniform texture that make it easy to cut, saw and nail with common tools.
