Cedar

The presence of a huge amount of phytoncides and essential oils gives this wood antiseptic properties, increases the resistance of the breed to all types of biological damage. A cedar house will always have an amazing aroma that does not fade even after many years after construction. This smell perfectly scares away gnats - mosquitoes, flies, midges. No rot, blue and a variety of mosses with cedar mushrooms are not scary in principle. For people with weakened immunity, susceptible to various diseases that are caused by viruses and bacteria, their own cedar house will become an alternative to a hospital, since the air in it is not only sterile, but also healing.

Among wood materials, cedar takes the leading position in terms of heat conservation. In terms of the coefficient of thermal conductivity, it surpasses not only pine, but also spruce. Thermal conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct heat, and the higher this coefficient, the faster heat transfer occurs. It is logical to assume that for housing construction, the lower this parameter, the better.

• Ель – 110 W/(m*C)
• Сосна – 150 W/(m*C)

A bonus of cedar walls is the lower costs for air conditioning in summer, since the rooms are kept cool and fresh air without auxiliary systems and equipment.

For this indicator, cedar wood is often compared to metal. Cedar is strong and soft at the same time, which makes it easy to work with. Craftsmen love cedar timber for its ease of use, because this type of wood lends itself well even to manual processing.

There are significantly fewer cracks in the walls of cedar houses compared to pine houses. Cedar timber is practically not susceptible to cracking, even when it comes to a material of natural moisture, which allows you to minimize finishing work inside and on the facade. As the owners of the houses note, where the pine is twisted by the "helicopter", the cedar remains flat and does not create problems.

Cedar wood is resistant to decay and is not susceptible to wormholes. Natural impregnation of cedar with essential oils, the porosity and softness of the wood completely protects the wood from rotting, mold, warping from changes in temperature and humidity. During construction in conditions of high humidity, constant impregnation with antiseptics and water repellents becomes a necessary procedure for houses made of pine or spruce. Cedar timber, even without such protective manipulations, is resistant to moisture and only gets stronger every year.

In terms of decorativeness, cedar has no equal - all shades of pink, from the most delicate yellow-pink tones to a rich, crimson tone. Given its ideal geometry, chic color and stunning texture, it is enough to cover the walls with clear oil or wax to highlight their beauty. And this is a real opportunity to save money on interior design. The walls themselves look like decoration and do not need an abundance of decor.

The porous structure of cedarwood provides a chic soundproofing in a house made of this material, just like in a recording studio.
