WESTERN RED CEDAR BENEFITS

  • DURABILITY–Western red cedar is a naturally durable softwood that creates extractives (Thujaplicans and Phenolics) that ward off decay caused by insects, water infiltration, and fungi. The extractives increase with age leading to a longer lasting product life cycle–especially in exterior applications.
  • DIMENSIONAL STABILITY–WRC has a very low shrinkage factor and is largely superior to all other coniferous softwoods in its resistance to warping, checking, and twisting.
  • THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY–WRC’s low density gives it a high thermal insulating value because it contains a high proportion of cell cavities. In dry wood, these cavities are filled with air which is one of the best known thermal insulators. The R value is 1.35 per inch of thickness.
  • FIRE RESISTANCE–reSAWN’s CHARRED CEDAR has a Flame Spread Index of 40 and a Smoke Developed Index of 140 to give it a Class B Rating. CHARRED CEDAR can be fire treated to Class A for interior projects.

6 NEWLY ADDED OLD WOOD LOOKS

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In Product Updates /  

reSAWN is pleased to introduce 4 new designs on reclaimed hemlock inspired by reclaimed barn siding.  The reclaimed hemlock is wirebrushed with a stain/sealer.  The colors have been carefully curated by our product developer to reflect the colors typically found on reclaimed barn siding.  Designers can now specify a reclaimed wood product that looks like barn siding without the concerns of lead paint that can sometimes be found on old barns.  The beautifully rustic reclaimed hemlock adds variation and fluidity to these designs while the stain/sealer allows for a more consistent all over color than can be achieved with reclaimed barn siding.

MORE INFO:  enCORE collection

Additionally, reSAWN is pleased to announce the introduction of OLD FASHIONED and SAZERAC to our offering.  These are newly harvested original white oak that is then hand crafted to look like reclaimed wood – including saw marks and nail holes.  They are then prefinished with a non-toxic 0-VOC hardwax oil finish.
