Long Lasting
Northern White Cedar is known for its exceptional durability because it is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage. This resistance helps in maintaining the structural integrity of the home over many years, which makes it an ideal material for long-lasting construction. According to the US Forestry Service, the average life expectancy of our log homes is 200 years, enabling your family to enjoy a beautiful home for generations.
Termite & Bug Resistant
Northern White Cedar is naturally resistant to termites and other wood-boring insects. This resistance is primarily due to the presence of naturally occurring oils and compounds within the wood fibers that act as repellents to these pests. When you build your home with Northern White Cedar, your worries concerning insects are eased. This high-quality wood is bug-resistant.
