CEDAR RAISED PANEL

Insulating efficiency is an important consideration to most homeowners. Our Cedar Raised Panel doors offer many benefits in that regard. Unlike steel doors which can conduct heat and cold through the metal even when insulated, wood doors have a natural insulating value that can be enhanced by the addition of our optional insulation package. Additionally, wood doors can be easily fitted and weather-stripped in irregular openings, which is nearly impossible with steel doors. This is critical because most heat loss occurs by air infiltration around the perimeter of a door, not through it.

Western Red Cedar has a natural resistance to decay, making it an ideal panel material. Cedar exhibits a wide variation in grain patterns and color, ranging from almost white to a medium brown. Panels may consist of several boards joined edge to edge, which improves quality and stability. Variations in appearance within a panel may be apparent when transparent stains or finishes are used
