“Western red Cedar”, in nature also known as “the tree of life”. Botanically “Thuja plicata” belongs to Cupressaceae. The area of spread of western red Cedar is west part of North America from Alaska to California and east to Montana. Trunks can grow to a knotless height of 25m. the trees can reach up to 1000 years of age. The wood of western red Cedar is quite cold-resistant.
Colour : sapwood is whitish and 2-5cm wide, core wood is reddish brown to red-brown, often variable. Density of dried wood ranges depending on the width of the age-rings between 340-460 kg/m3. After drying the wood has average dimensional stability, is easy and clean to work with, shows evenly smooth surface, easy to polish and nish. The moisture upon delivery is approx. 18-20% for exterior ooring wood and 10-12% for facades. Cedar wood has been highly priced even in ancient times. Contains resin, that gives it its typical smell. The contained substances may leak out from areas of fresh cuts and cause colouring of the walls. Therefore, we recommend to treat all cut edges with OSMO Wax for cut edges n. 5735. With western red Cedar in exterior constructions it is absolutely essential to use non-corroding fastening means. Natural light greyness after almost half a year of exposure to weather is normal and doesn’t aect its quality and durability. Colour dierences between individual planks are natural but are not too signicant.
For correct functionality of the decking it is necessary to follow basic rules for installation of wooden decking and creating suciently stable construction underneath. The underlying construction should be made of wood with same or similar density as the actual decking to ensure uniform swelling or shrinkage. For correct maintenance and cleaning ask our sales representatives for technical conditions and guidelines for maintenance of wooden decking. Coat and colour: If you opt for treating your decking with a coat to prevent it from naturally turning grey we recommend for facade wood to use a chosen tone of OSMO Protective oil coat for wood or OSMO UV protective oil n. 428 Cedar semi-matt.
