Why Choose Western Red Cedar Beams?

1. Exceptional Strength and Durability

Western Red Cedar is renowned for its natural strength, lightweight properties, and long-lasting durability. Whether you're using them for load-bearing applications or as decorative elements, these beams provide excellent structural support while offering a beautiful appearance. They are naturally resistant to moisture, decay, and insects, making them perfect for outdoor as well as indoor uses.

2. Natural Beauty and Aesthetic Appeal

One of the most significant features of Western Red Cedar is its warm, reddish-brown tones and distinctive grain. However, it's important to note that UK-grown Western Red Cedar tends to have slightly less vibrant color compared to its imported counterparts, which can exhibit more intense reds and golden hues. Despite this, UK-grown cedar still provides a beautiful natural finish that will weather gracefully over time, developing a silvery-gray patina when left untreated.

3. Natural Resistance to Weathering

Western Red Cedar is known for its weather-resistant properties, making it an excellent choice for exterior applications. Over time, it naturally resists moisture, decay, and insect damage, making it an incredibly low-maintenance choice. Whether it’s exposed to rain or sun, these beams will continue to perform reliably, maintaining their strength and appearance for years.

4. Sustainable Sourcing

We are proud to offer sustainably sourced Western Red Cedar. Our timber is responsibly harvested from managed forests, ensuring that your choice supports eco-friendly practices. By choosing Western Red Cedar, you're opting for a material that aligns with environmentally conscious building practices.
