Cedar Decking Highlights
- Real Wood Beauty
Aesthetically, there really is no substitute for the natural beauty of cedar. Imbued with decidedly crisp, yet superbly rich, tonal properties, cedar can create sublime outdoor sanctuaries, embolden traditional home decor, provoke cutting-edge architecture and inspire innovative interiors. - Versatile
Western red cedar is pitch and resin-free. This means it’s ideal for accepting and holding a wide range of beautiful finishes including elegant dark stains, shabby chic bleaches, traditional solid colors and naturally beautiful semi-transparents. Cedar also offers a wide range of lumber dimensions, surface textures and grades. - Sustainable
Independent studies prove that when it comes to environmental performance, natural wood is superior to synthetic products in every way. While other building materials generate greenhouse gasses, western red cedar actually removes greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. And unlike brick, cement and composites, cedar is renewable and biodegradable. In addition, cedar is sourced from the most sustainably managed forests in the world.
