Cedar Characteristics
Cedar produces long lengths of timber with true, straight grain. Cedar's fine, straight grain and uniform texture make it easy to cut, saw and nail with common tools. Cedar is highly resistant to splitting caused by fasteners. It is free from pitch and its heartwood has natural decay resistance.Its low density gives it an insulation value superior to most other species. Light weight, easy to work, easy to finish, possessing outstanding dimensional stability.
Cedar Decking Color Cedar most often shows a thin layer of sapwood that is light brown or cream in color. The heartwood is typically a red to deep reddish brown that often has accentuating tights knots.
Cedar Hardness Cedar's Janka rating is 900
Cedar Durability What Cedar lacks in outright hardness, it compensates for with good shock resistance and structural stability.
Cedar Preservation Western Red Cedar is one of the few wood species that are naturally at home in the outdoors. It is classified as a durable wood by the building codes across North America, which permits the use of its heartwood in exterior applications without preservative treatments. The heartwood contains extractives that are toxic to decay causing fungi.
