The extractives increase with age leading to a longer lasting product life cycle–especially in exterior applications. - **DIMENSIONAL STABILITY**–WRC has a very low shrinkage factor and is largely superior to all other coniferous softwoods in its resistance to warping, checking, and twisting. - **THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY**–WRC’s low density gives it a high thermal insulating value because it contains a high proportion of cell cavities. In dry wood, these cavities are filled with air which is one of the best known thermal insulators. The R value is 1.35″ (34mm) of thickness. - **FIRE RESISTANCE**–reSAWN’s CHARRED CEDAR has a Flame Spread Index of 40 and a Smoke Developed Index of 140 to give it a Class B Rating. CHARRED CEDAR can be fire treated to Class A for interior projects. ## [CHARRED CEDAR](http://resawntimberco.com/shou-sugi-ban-charred-cedar) DESIGNS [![JENNINGS shou sugi ban charred cedar](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1561-480x480-1.jpg?width=480&height=480&name=IMG_1561-480x480-1.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1561-4.jpg) JENNINGS shou sugi ban [![DUNCAN shou sugi ban charred cedar](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1568-480x480-1.jpg?width=480&height=480&name=IMG_1568-480x480-1.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1568-4.jpg) [![PALMER shou sugi ban charred cedar](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1566-480x480-1.jpg?width=480&height=480&name=IMG_1566-480x480-1.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1566-4.jpg) PALMER shou sugi ban [![HURLEY shou sugi ban charred cedar](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_2257_1p3-480x480-1.jpg?width=480&height=480&name=IMG_2257_1p3-480x480-1.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_2257_1p3-4.jpg) HURLEY shou sugi ban [![COOPER shou sugi ban charred cedar](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1560-1-480x480-1.jpg?width=480&height=480&name=IMG_1560-1-480x480-1.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1560-1-4.jpg) COOPER shou sugi ban [![PACKARD charred shou sugi ban cedar](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1550-1-480x480-1.jpg?width=480&height=480&name=IMG_1550-1-480x480-1.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1550-1-4.jpg) PACKARD shou sugi ban [![BRIGGS shou sugi ban charred cedar](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1554-480x480-1.jpg?width=480&height=480&name=IMG_1554-480x480-1.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1554-4.jpg) HAYWARD shou sugi ban [![COOPER shou sugi ban charred cedar](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1573-480x480-1.jpg?width=480&height=480&name=IMG_1573-480x480-1.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1573-4.jpg) TRUMAN shou sugi ban [![HAYWARD shou sugi ban charred cedar](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1575-480x480-1.jpg?width=480&height=480&name=IMG_1575-480x480-1.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_1575-4.jpg) BRIGGS shou sugi ban ## – – – ## HIGH-END FOOD HALL REVITALIZES BALTIMORE BODY SHOP WITH [DUNCAN shou sugi ban CHARRED cedar](http://resawntimberco.com/product/duncan-shou-sugi-ban) [![IMG_0861_rhouse](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_0861_rhouse-5.jpg?width=1280&height=853&name=IMG_0861_rhouse-5.jpg)](https://connect.resawntimberco.com/resawntimberco.com/project/r-house-baltimore-duncan-shou-sugi-ban) Formerly Anderson’s Body Shop, R House has converted the Baltimore warehouse into a 350-seat food hall.
