CASCA
Texture variation: Smooth
CASCA pairs a cedar substrate with stronger amber grain lines, knots, and organic surface movement. Its contrast gives the boards an expressive effect, allowing the wood’s natural growth pattern to become part of the design. Across façades, soffits, walls, and ceilings, CASCA brings a warm, character-driven cedar surface to both modern and rustic architectural spaces.

Western Red Cedar
Western Red Cedar is one of North America’s most enduring exterior wood species, valued for its natural resistance to decay, moisture, and dimensional movement. Its rich, warm tones and straight, uniform grain lend a distinctive character to contemporary and traditional designs, while its lightweight nature makes it well-suited for a wide range of cladding and millwork applications. Western Red Cedar performs reliably in demanding exterior environments and weathers gracefully over time.
