The qualities of Western Red Cedar are numerous. Of particular
importance is its longevity due to its natural preservative. Its fine,
even grain, exceptional strength in proportion to weight, low ratio
of expansion and contraction, high impermeability to liquids and
low maintenance are indeed characteristics hard to beat.
Additionally, they perform exceptionally well in hurricane force
winds and provide a high degree of thermal insulation. Remember
that proper care and maintenance will add many years of life to
your roof. Cedar`s rich, earthy tones and its warmth and subtle
patterns of texture provide long-lasting beauty on roofs, exterior
wall, or as interior decoration.
Brought to us from responsibly managed forests in tropical America and some of
the lesser Antilles, this extremely dense wood will perform admirably for many
years, even in damp environments. With the highest rating against termite
damage, rot and decay, Ipe is an excellent choice for exterior decking.
Ipe decking can be sealed to preserve its dark warm walnut color with a penetrating
oil prior to installation or allowed to weather to a beautiful silver patina. During
installation, we recommend using carbide tipped saw blades and drilling pilot holes
3/4" from the ends of the boards minimizes splitting and checking.
All this at prices comparable to clear cedar or composite decking!
