Wood, Naturally
Natural stability is the key to redwood’s long-lasting performance. Redwood is less likely to warp, cup, check and pop nails because it has less shrinking and swelling. Stability and little or no pitch content also help redwood hold finishes well. Redwood’s stability is a guarantee of long-lasting beauty.
Redwood heartwood provides resistance to decay from fungus and damage from insect attack. The cinnamon-colored heartwood has decay resistance throughout the lumber, not just on the surface. Redwood also offers sound insulation properties that make it a favorite for use where sound is a consideration.
