Redwood Recycled Exterior Siding and Trim

California Redwood

The Redwood trees of California have been harvested since the time of the first Spanish settlers, 400 years ago. It is a highly prized lumber product renowned for several unique features. One of the most dimensionally stable of the western softwoods, redwood is not prone to checking and splitting, and therefore is less damaged by weathering. It is decay-resistant in all heartwood grades, so heartwood can be used near the ground. Redwood is more insect repellent in all-heartwood grades than other softwoods, yet it is lightweight.

Despite being one of the lightest of softwoods, it provides adequate strength for a wide variety of uses, and has superior insulation values. The minute cell structure with thousands of air-filled cavities accounts for Redwood’s thermal insulation values. This softwood is easily machined, easy to saw and nail and has superior gluing properties as well as superior finish-holding ability. It is known for its easy maintenance and beautiful color: a deep reddish brown that darkens with age. 

Redwood is most often used for applications where high moisture levels are a problem for other types of wood. It is also specified for its exquisite coloring. We offer redwood sidingdecking and lumber for all kinds of projects. 

Scientific Name: Sequoia sempervirens

Lumber Sizing

When ordering your Redwood products it is important to understand lumber sizing.  Lumber is generally going to be sold on what is called Nominal Sizing rather than Net Sizing. An example of this would be to order a 2″x4″.   Though the board is nominally called a 2″x4″ its net size may be 1.5″ x 3.5″ if it has been surfaced on all four sides.   

If you need a particular net size of material, please be sure to make your sales representative aware of the exact net size so they can provide you with the right piece of lumber.
