The earliest residents of the Pacific Northwest called it the "Tree of Life". And for all the centuries since, Western Red cedar has been a vital part of our outdoor lifestyle. As a home siding material, real Western Red Cedar is still the natural choice of value minded homeowners.
Cedar is a living legend for its "grown-in-the-wood" resistance to moisture, decay and insect damage. Cedar also has exceptional dimensional stability. It lays flat, stays straight, retains fasteners and provides a firm base for many types of stains and paints. Properly prefinished and installed, it should be the last siding your home will ever need.
With its richness of grain, texture and color, Cedar offers a timeless complement to any architectural style, from traditional to contemporary. Put Nature on your side with Cedar and enjoy the lasting prestige that imitators can only hint at.
Imitations have limitations
Natural leaders always attract imitators. That's why so many artificial sidings have contrived to look like Cedar - right down to the face "grain" and embossed "knots". Unfortunately, none of them last like Cedar. In fact, during periods of rainfall or high humidity, some of these fair-weather wonders go all to pieces.
For the energy-wise, Cedar throws in a natural bonus: its unique cell structure traps tiny pockets of air to boost insulation and reduce home heating costs. Try that with metal or plastic sidings.
Cedar lets you choose sides
With Western Red Cedar, you don't have to settle for your neighbor's siding style. Cedar siding comes in a wide choice of designs and grades - there's one that's exactly right for your home's architectural style, as well as your budget.
...or change colors
Cedar takes stain or paint with ease so unlike artificial sidings, it allows you to match existing colors when extending your home. That can't be done with faded plastics. Or if you simply want a fresh face for your home, versatile Cedar siding can be refinished quickly to any color you can imagine.
