What Makes Redwood Special:
The cellular structure of Redwood is unique and has made it one of the most desirable wood products for outdoor use, especially suited for decking. Redwood heartwood contains Tannins and is naturally resistant to decay and insects.
- No other softwood has the rich beauty, deep red to reddish yellow hues or long-lasting performance of redwood.
- In general, all wood acts like a sponge; when it absorbs moisture it swells and when it loses moisture it shrinks. Redwood has thinner cell walls which shrink and swell less than other woods, more stability means redwood is less likely to warp, split, cup or check.
- Redwood is a favorite with builders because it is lightweight but strong, easy to saw, nail and drill.
- Redwood contains little or no messy pitch or resins.
There are over 30 different grades of redwood lumber including general purpose grades and for a single use. Redwood is graded by appearance and durability, with criteria defined by the Redwood Inspection Service. For a complete explanation of the uses and varied benefits of each grade, click here.
