With all the threats of
nature emerging as a result of climate change, no home is safe with
bare exterior walls. A home needs siding to ward off the elements and
prolong the life of its main wall structure. Not just a shield, this
cladding material should be visually appealing to increase the home's
value. This is where cedar siding, a wood siding known for its
natural beauty, comes into play.
Cedar siding is wood, and
is cut out of huge trees, giving it unparalleled natural texture.
Other siding materials may imitate its look; but only true wood
showcases a natural beauty that makes a home stand out. The tones and
patterns are so unique that it looks beautiful even when not treated
or coated with varnish.
What makes cedar an even
more interesting siding material is that it's naturally resistant to
moisture and infestation. Unlike other wood that succumbs easily to
termites, cedar is virtually invincible. The natural preservatives
that cedar planks contain are harmful to fungi, helping the siding
last for many years.
While cutting cedar trees
can be considered threatening to the environment, many
environmentalists have already claimed that cedar wood is a renewable
source of energy. This is all the more true as more and more cedar
trees are now being planted in place of those that have already been
cut. For this reason, cedar is among the most environment friendly
siding materials for homes.
