Redwood is a softwood known for its easy maintenance and beautiful deep reddish brown color that darkens with age.
Redwood is suitable for applications where high moisture levels are a problem for other types of wood. The heartwood grades are especially resistant to damage from moisture, insects and fungi.
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.
No other softwood holds paints, stains and other coatings better than redwood. Redwood also bonds exceptionally well. It can be left to weather to a silvery grey or sealed with a clear or colored stain to maintain the warm color tones.
