More Style Choices
Timber windows and doors extend a greater choice of type and style than those made of other materials. PVC and Aluminum are mass-produced in limited variations. The cross sectional profile of Cedar varies as only nature orchestrates. The versatility of Cedar spawns innovation and originality.

Various Finishing Options
Western Red Cedar's natural colour palette is renowned and may be enhanced with an almost infinite array of natural finishes to bring out the warm earthy tones. It may also be painted to suit your decor and style, Western Red Cedar indoor products will match or complement most architectural styles from traditional to modern contemporary designs. A further appeal of this beautiful timber is the ease with which it may be changed. A timber window may be embellished with a translucent stain one day and an opaque gloss or another colour, the next.

Workability
The lack of pitch or resinous extractives that are soluble in paint vehicles contributes to Cedar's good finishing properties. Cedar takes a variety of coatings, paints and stains exceptionally well, particularly when dried and properly primed.

Western Red Cedar is among the easiest timbers to work with because of its straight grain and uniform texture. It planes and sands cleanly and, because of its low wood density, it is lightweight and ideally suited for applications such as blinds and shutters and requires little energy to saw or otherwise work. Cedar also glues well with a wide range of adhesives and gluing conditions.
