Overview

Western Red Cedar trim is the premier choice for exterior trim applications. Its natural resistance to rot, decay, and insects makes it ideal for exterior window casings, fascia boards, corner boards, and porch trim. Cedar also performs beautifully as interior trim in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and saunas, where its aromatic properties and dimensional stability provide lasting performance.

Installation Tips

1

Use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners to prevent corrosion staining

2

Seal all end cuts and end grain immediately to prevent moisture absorption

3

Allow 1/8" gap at joints for seasonal expansion on exterior applications

4

Apply finish or sealer within 2 weeks of installation for exterior use

5

Pre-drill fastener holes in dry cedar to prevent splitting

6

Back-prime all surfaces before exterior installation

Maintenance

Exterior cedar trim should be refinished every 2-4 years with a quality penetrating stain or sealer. If left unfinished, cedar weathers to a uniform silver-gray. Interior cedar trim needs only occasional dusting. Avoid film-forming finishes outdoors as they can peel.
