Western Red Cedar CLT

Western Red Cedar CLT is a premium form of cross-laminated timber made from Thuja plicata, a coniferous softwood native to the Pacific Northwest. Renowned for its rich reddish hues, fine grain, and natural resistance to decay, Western Red Cedar brings a unique blend of aesthetic warmth and structural capability to mass timber construction. While CLT is traditionally made from spruce or pine, cedar introduces a lightweight, dimensionally stable, and visually striking alternative for both interior and exterior applications.

Key Features
•Material: Clear-grade Western Red Cedar, kiln-dried and laminated
•Panel Composition: Multiple layers of cedar boards cross-oriented and bonded with structural adhesives
•Appearance: Amber to cinnamon red tones with uniform grain and minimal knots
•Finish Options: Natural, stained, or sealed; suitable for exposed surfaces
•Applications: Walls, floors, roofs, façades, and decorative structural elements

Benefits
•Natural Durability – Cedar is inherently resistant to rot, insects, and moisture
•Dimensional Stability – Low shrinkage and warping, ideal for precision-engineered panels
•Lightweight – Easier to transport and install than denser hardwood CLT options
•Thermal Insulation – High air content in cell structure offers excellent energy efficiency
•Aesthetic Appeal – Adds warmth and character to modern and rustic designs alike
