Do you know about Canadian red cedar shingles? I believe some of you are confused about it. So, let me make a detailed introduction for you!
First of all, please allow me to introduce to you: what is cedar? What are shingles?
Red cedar (i.e. North American cypress), its bark is brownish red-brown with irregular strips of shallow cracks; large branches are spreading, and the branches are slightly pendulous. It is native to North America and was later cultivated in Jiangxi and Jiangsu in China. Because of its bright green foliage all year round and its rather fragrant material, which is especially suitable for greening quiet and stately places, the species is commonly used for landscaping in Europe and America. Because of its beautiful texture and durability, it is also an excellent material for making ships, sleepers and buildings, and does not require painting or preservative treatment. The wood is also used for exterior siding, balcony flooring, fine wooden furniture, greenhouse construction, ship construction, wooden boxes and packing crates, window frames and doors, etc.
Some of you may ask, why do we need to point out Canadian red cedar in particular here? This is because through years of comparing red cedar wood grown in different regions, people have found that red cedar wood from western Canada is of the highest quality. Western Canada is extremely cold, and red cedar grows here, affected by the low temperature environment and its own characteristics, creating some of its extraordinary characteristics! As the saying goes, “You get what you pay for through hardship and suffering”! In short, the Canadian red cedar as a red cedar quality varieties, there are several advantages.
First, the appearance of beautiful. Red cedar texture fine and clear, its unique red hue and texture can add a natural flavor to any area.
Secondly, it is strong in corrosion resistance. This is due to its naturally unique side alcohol, cedaric acid that makes it impervious to insect infestation and decay. No preservative treatment is required.
Third, it is dimensionally stable. Red cedar has almost no shrinkage, swelling or other deformation in any humidity and temperature environment. This is due to its fiber saturation point moisture content is 18% to 23%, stability is twice the common common softwood, light weight, wood placed flat, vertical straight with fasteners fastened well.
Fourth, a faint fragrance. Red cedar has a faint sandalwood fragrance, can maintain and release the fragrance for a long time, beneficial to the human body. According to survey data, people living in houses built or decorated with red cedar, rarely get heart disease, is a long-lived tree created a healthy and long-lived people.
Fifth, red cedar is low density, small shrinkage, heat insulation, good performance, easy to cut, bond and paint, flame expansion and smoke diffusion grade is low.
Red cedar is easy to cut, saw and nail down with common tools. Because of these characteristics, air-dried red cedar lumber can also be planed to a smooth surface or machined to any shape. Being free of turpentine and resin, red cedar bonds to a variety of adhesives and provides a solid base for a wide range of paints and stains.
As for shingles (also known as: shingles, shingle boards, wood grain shingles, Canadian red cedar shingles), its literal meaning can be well understood, i.e. its a wooden shingle. Wooden shingle its can be used to cover the roof, roof, is a kind of construction material, they have been widely used by the ancient people in ancient times. General wood shingle roof pavement with sandalwood fixed, normal installation of wood shingles before the roof first waterproof treatment. Wooden tile installation can generally be divided into two forms of installation on the roof panel and purlin plate. Installation of wood tile with coil layer, each layer laminated lap installation, coil layer is generally shorter than wood tile, the upper end and wood tile flush and synchronous installation with wood tile, but also in the wood substrate and then lay a layer of waterproof layer, double waterproof set can be more effective waterproof leak-proof role. Wooden tile installation nail hanging tile generally from the eaves to start gradually up to the ridge, nail placement, to check the tile spacing size is consistent at any time. To ensure accurate size, can be in a slope of the two ends, accurate measurement of the tile spacing, through the length of the line nail hanging tile.
Red cedar shingles, as the name implies, are shingles made of red cedar wood. As a building material, red cedar shingles are stable and do not deform, and because they do not require corrosion and pressure treatment, they are not subject to insects, fungi and termites, so they can be decorated with straight diamond, fan and brick shingles to cover roofs that are exposed to UV rays all year round without warping. Even in other harsh environments, such as exposure to sun, rain, heat and cold all year round, it can maintain its original stability.
