Western Red Cedar is appreciated worldwide for its rich, earthy colours, unique texture, and for its natural resistance to decay. Cedar has a fine, straight, and even grain, is free from pitch, and relatively strong. In addition, cedar has a low ratio of expansion and contraction with changes in moisture content and a relatively high impermeability to liquids. It is these attributes that make a properly milled, graded, and installed cedar shingle or shake a viable and attractive water-shedding roof.
