Cedar

When you’re constructing a new home, design and durability matter. As a beautiful soft wood, cedar not only has the aesthetic appeal but, because of its unique properties, has the longevity you’re looking for. These two factors mean that using cedar siding for your home actually increases the value of your property.

Cedar Benefits

  • Beauty

    Rich, rustic looking cedar is both visually attractive and aromatically pleasant, it promotes feelings of wellbeing.

  • Durability

    Cedar naturally repels insects, is resistant to moisture, decay and has antimicrobial properties. It is the prime choice for homes in moist and shaded environments. For centuries cedar has been used in some of the nation’s most prestigious homes because of its superior ability to withstand the kind of weathering that causes inferior woods to rot, stain and decay.

  • Stability

    Inferior siding is known to warp and twist, and needs constant maintenance. Cedar siding is incredibly stable and cooperative. Its low density structure ensures it lies flat and retains its form for the life of the wood. It holds fastenings well.

  • Sustainability

    Cedar is an excellent environmental choice. In contrast to man-made imitation wood products, cedar can be recycled, sustainably grown and is 100% natural.

  • Safety

    Cedar siding and shingles withstands winds up to 170mph and, when pretreated with fire retardant, resists fire.
