Architectural design - Cedar compliments any architectural design - from turn-of-the-century to contemporary.
Colours - Unfinished Cedar has richly textured grain with colours ranging from mellow ambers,
reddish cinnamons and rich sienna browns. Its warm coloring is complimented by a
uniform, fine-grained texture with a satin luster.
|
|
Easy finishing - Because Cedar is virtually pitch and resin free, the wood easily accepts a range of finishes, from fine oils and stains, to solid coatings and paint. |
Usages - Enhance the beauty and elegance of your home or commercial property with cedar siding, decking, moulding,
windows, posts, beams, paneling, outdoor projects, interiors and saunas.
|
|
Aroma - Cedar's unique aroma comes from naturally occurring thujaplicins in its heartwood. These compounds resist moisture and are toxic to decay causing fungi and insects and preserve the wood to give it long lasting appeal. |
Acoustic insulation - Acoustic properties of Cedar walls and ceilings provide sound insulation necessary to quieten rooms. Surround yourself in the beauty of cedar.

Western Red Cedar, is a wood with roots of use that date back centuries to the Native Americans who first named it the "Tree of Life." Along B.C.'s Pacific Coast, aboriginal people have used cedar bark to make rope, clothing and baskets for thousands of years. The logs are used for a variety of purposes, including canoes, totem poles, masks and long houses. Native Americans would also remove large slabs of outer bark from living trees for roofing materials or cut a rectangular hole into a tree to test its soundness before cutting it for a canoe or totem pole.
