What Makes Redwood Special?
The unique properties of Redwood have
made it one of the most desirable wood
products for outdoor use, especially
for decking.
- No other softwood has the rich beauty or long-lasting performance of redwood.
- In general, 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, so redwood is less likely
to warp, split, cup or check.
- Redwood heartwood is naturally resistant to decay and insects.
- Redwood is a favorite with builders because it is lightweight but strong. It is easy to saw, nail and drill. Redwood has little or no messy pitch or resins.
There are different kinds of Redwood?
There are over thirty 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.

uses and varied benefits of each grade,
