Cedar Wood Logs

Western Red Cedar is an excellent thermal insulator, outperforming brick, concrete and steel. It protects buildings and houses from the extremes of heat and cold.
The low density and air spaces make it the best insulator of any available softwood.
Its thermal conductivity factor K is 0.74 BTU in / ft² h F.
Its R-value is 1.35 per 25mm of thickness.

Description

Western Red Cedar is one of the lightest softwoods available.
The timber is light because of more low-density early wood and less high-density late wood within the annual growth rings.
The lower density cells have air spaces that enhance the wood’s insulating properties.
