Cedar wood and
cedar lumber are highly sought-after materials in the United States, favored by contractors and home builders for their natural beauty, durability, and resistance to decay. They are popular choices for exterior siding, trim, fencing, and more.
AW Graham Lumber (
GrahamLumber.com) is the home of dirt cheap prices and
Kentucky's leading
supplier of high-quality cedar wood and lumber for home construction and remodeling projects.
As a premier
local building supplies provider, we offer a wide selection of cedar wood products in our
product catalog. To help you decide on the right grade for your
lumberyard order, consider these specifications regarding dimensions and performance:
- Western Red Cedar (WRC) Bevel Siding: This is the gold standard for exterior cladding. Available sizes include 1-in x 4-in, 1-in x 6-in, and 1-in x 8-in, in lengths of 8-ft, 10-ft, and 12-ft. WRC contains natural oils called thujaplicins which act as preservatives, making the wood exceptionally resistant to rot and insect attack without the need for chemical treatments.
- S1S2E Standard & Better (Std & Btr): Surfaced on one side (S1S) and two edges (S2E), this lumber provides a clean, smooth face for painting or staining while the rough back offers excellent adhesion. It is frequently used for fascia and trim where a polished appearance is required.
- Tight Knot (TK) Cedar: This grade is defined by knots that are structurally sound and will not fall out. It is a cost-effective choice for those seeking the rustic "cabin" look for siding or fencing. Despite the knots, TK cedar maintains the same decay resistance as higher grades.
Cedar is a dimensionally stable wood, meaning it undergoes minimal shrinkage or swelling compared to other softwoods. This makes it ideal for the fluctuating humidity found in the
Ohio Valley. It is also a natural insulator; the open cell structure of cedar wood helps trap air, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Furthermore, cedar is a renewable and biodegradable resource, making it an environmentally friendly choice compared to vinyl or fiber-cement alternatives.
