(NC)—Most people only consider the aesthetic value of their home's exterior siding. Yet, architects and builders know some siding options provide both outstanding physical characteristics, and exceptional beauty.
"All-natural beauty and natural durability has long made western red cedar the premier choice for siding applications," says Peter Lang, president of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association. "And by using cedar siding, homeowners can expect to save in heating and cooling expenses over the long-term."
Western red cedar has excellent thermal conductivity that helps keep the home cool in summer while reducing heating costs in winter. In addition to this low thermal conductivity, its low density also makes it a great acoustical barrier as well.
