Why Western Red Cedar?
Unmatched Sustainability
The production of cedar contributes to fewer greenhouse gases, generates less air and water pollution and requires lower energy levels than alternative materials.
Thermal Insulation
The thermal properties of western red cedar are unmatched. It actually outperforms brick, concrete and steel as an insulator, with an R-value of 1.35 per inch.
Structural Performance
Western red cedar has a durability rating of '2' in Australia making it 2x more stable than pine. It is also naturally resistant to cupping and warping, even when milled into the fine aerofoil shape used in making plantation shutters.
