Environmentally Friendly Western Red Cedar from Timbeck Cedar Products
TIMBECK CEDAR PRODUCTS TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT.
Western Red Cedar from TIMBECK CEDAR PRODUCTS is the ultimate green building material. Not only does it have distinctive beauty, natural durability and centuries of proven performance, Western Red Cedar has the least impact on the environment throughout its life cycle.
It produces fewer greenhouse gases, generates less air and water pollution, requires less energy to produce than alternatives, and comes from a renewable and sustainable resource. It is carbon neutral and biodegradable.
Western Red Cedar is one of the few timber species that are naturally at home in the outdoors. It will last for decades, even in harsh environments.
Its natural resistance to moisture, decay and insect damage make it the ideal choice for applications that are exposed.
Responsibly harvested in British Columbia, Canada, less than 1/3 of 1% of the growing stock of Cedar is harvested each year. For each tree harvested, 8 are replanted, so that there are more forests now than there were 100 years ago. These young forests are excellent carbon sinks, and release oxygen back into the atmosphere, thus contributing to a healthier environment.
