Cedar Is One of Natures Gifts to Us

Cedar wood is one of the top 3 rot-resistant woods grown in America and is a perfect material for log structures. Its best qualities for home building include:

  • It doesn’t swell, warp, or shrink compared to most other natural woods.
  • Cedar stands up to major changes in air and ground temperature and humidity.
  • It has many cell cavities filled with air that provide a high-insulation value.
  • Cedar resists insects and worms better than other comparable woods.
  • It has a high sound-resistant quality that is ideal for interior and exterior walls.

Once you try it, you will love it and may consider it for internal walls as well. These tips are welcomed ideas about the benefits of cedar siding homes.

Cedar Wood Makes the Perfect Log Siding Material

Cedar is soft enough to work easily, such as sawing, drilling, sanding, and finishing, and tough enough to be durable. It can be left in its natural color and finished with a clear coat or it can be stained to many different and rustic hues. Its durability and colors can be greatly enhanced with applications of sealer as needed. The hand-hewn log siding shown here gives an authentic log cabin look and appeal without the full log price.

Something that most people don’t know is that cedar is also a pitch and resin-free wood product. When milled in our shop, cedar’s stability retains its tongue and groove/end-matching features that keep it flat on walls. This type of siding is fast and easy to install and saves up to 20% in labor time and material waste. You can order it in several sizes, surface textures, unfinished or pre-finished, and in pine as well.
