Home » The Red Cedar Advantage

The Red Cedar wood species is found in the coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest. It is extensively used to manufacture decking, roofing, siding and other building products. Red cedar is naturally protected by chemical elements within each species.  These chemical elements protect the cedar against ultraviolet rays, moisture and insects, which prevents degeneration of the wood. This resistance allows the red cedar species to thrive in the moisture-heavy environment of the Pacific Northwest and Western coastal regions. These features are also the main reason why red cedar have been one of the most preferred natural building materials since the time before this region was settled by Europeans.

Due to the beauty of red cedar, its versatility, and its high resistance to many natural elements, red cedar is a preferred choice in decking, siding and roofing. Additionally, cedar has a pleasant odor that adds organic warmth to the general environment of the room.
