Western Red Cedar (WRC) is known for its excellent physical properties and appearance characteristics for exterior applications on both roof surfaces, as well as in siding applications.
About Western Red Cedar
WRC grows just west of the Rocky Mountains and from Alaska down through British Columbia in Canada, through Washington state, to Oregon and the western parts of Idaho. WRC has natural variances in color, from a light yellow on the extreme light side to a dark chocolate brown on the extreme dark side. This color variation can even happen within the same tree!
Why WRC for Roofing
Cedar Roofing is thermally efficient, easy to insulate and the only major building material that is renewable. Wood Roofs can keep your attic 28°F cooler in severe summer heat, and warmer during the winter months to help save on heating and cooling costs and reduce your carbon footprint.
