Cypress vs Western Red Cedar |
|
Cypress has superior rot resistance which makes it an excellent choice for outdoor use. While lighter in
color, it turns silvery gray when exposed to the elements and can also be stained or painted. Cypress is harder
(510 vs 350 Janka), which is a plus, considering the extremely soft
nature of Westerm Red Cedar. With greater hardness and density, comes more
weight, but Cypress only runs about 20% heavier. That added weight
comes from a higher resin content which is what gives it its excellent rot
resistance and durability.
Cypress has been used as a siding species for decades
as well as interior and exterior millwork. We have been working with it for years
but it has always been a smaller player in the softwood game. We think
that is about to change and as such have a great deal of it currently in
stock in Plain Sawn Grain across a wide variety of sizes. Quartersawn is also available but not in stock.
If you have questions about Cypress and how it might
fill the WRC niche in your business give us a call and we can help you figure out costs and grades for your specific projects. |
