Your Trusted Western Red Cedar Wood Supplier
Nature’s Versatile Softwood
Western Red Cedar Wood Soft Texture Strong Performance
Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) is one of the most revered softwoods in the world, known for its remarkable durability, aromatic scent, and natural beauty. Native to the Pacific Northwest of North America, this majestic tree can grow over 200 feet tall and live for centuries, producing lightweight yet strong wood that resists decay and insect damage naturally. Its vibrant reddish-brown heartwood, fine straight grain, and smooth texture make it a favorite among architects, designers, and builders. What sets Western Red Cedar apart is its unique combination of being light in weight, easy to work with, and highly stable—even in harsh outdoor environments.
At Kantilal & Sons, we supply premium-grade Western Red Cedar that has been carefully harvested from sustainable forests and kiln-dried to perfection. This wood is widely used in exterior and interior applications such as cladding, siding, decking, fencing, pergolas, and even high-end furniture.

Care Instructions for Western Red Cedar Wood
Western Red Cedar is renowned for its natural durability, beautiful grain, and resistance to insects and decay. However, to ensure it retains its strength and visual appeal for years—especially in challenging outdoor environments—basic care and maintenance are essential.
Regular Cleaning
Clean the surface periodically using mild soap and water to remove dust, dirt, and environmental buildup.
Avoid Water Exposure
Ensure proper drainage and airflow around the wood to prevent moisture retention, which can reduce its lifespan.
Sealing & Staining
Apply breathable, wood-safe sealants or stains to retain the cedar’s natural color and prevent weather-induced graying.
Sanding & Polishing
Light sanding can refresh the surface and restore cedar’s original texture and rich tones; polish as needed for a smooth finish.
