TerraMai’s Western Red Cedar can elevate any project on beauty alone but its many benefits will make you feel like a design hero. Western Red Cedar has a history of performance as demonstrated through its lasting beauty and durability. It is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect attacks; is a natural thermal insulator and it has a subtle cedar scent. The wood is free of resin and pitch therefore it takes finishes exceptionally well. Also available as paneling.
