Western Red Cedar offers excellent durability in outdoor environments and is highly resistant to decay, even after 15–20 years of use.
The wood contains a natural compound called thujaplicin, which acts as a natural antifungal agent and helps prevent mold growth.
Western Red Cedar also performs well in high-temperature sauna environments, with minimal expansion and contraction. In addition, it remains comfortable to the touch, reducing heat transfer to the skin and enhancing user safety.
Another advantage of Western Red Cedar is its consistent quality, which reduces the risk of selecting lower-grade or inconsistent timber.
