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.
Usages - Cedar is ideal for siding,
decking, moulding, windows, doors, posts, beams, paneling
outdoor projects, cladding, interiors and saunas.
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.
Natural preservative - Cedar contains
natural preservatives that resist moisture, decay and
insect damage.
Aroma - Cedar's unique aroma comes
from naturally occurring thujaplicins in its heartwood.
These compounds are toxic to decay-causing fungi 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.
Architectural design
- Cedar compliments any architectural design -
from turn-of-the-century to contemporary. |
