reSAWN TIMBER co. recently returned to their Toronto, CN project, Cos, to get a more complete understanding of how their MONOGATARI shou sugi ban exterior siding weathers in a real-world application.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Located at the epicenter of H Street in Washington, D.C., The Apollo brings an exciting apartment complex to one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in D.C. The lobby is large and open with a full bar and seating area to the right of the front desk and elevators located behind the desk. White tile floors lead up to the most impressive feature of the new complex: a three level balcony that includes reSAWN’s Antique Reclaimed Oak flooring, wall claddings, and stair treads from the enCORE collection.

WESTERN RED CEDAR BENEFITS

• DURABILITY–Western red cedar is a naturally durable softwood that creates extractives (Thujaplicans and Phenolics) that ward off decay caused by insects, water infiltration, and fungi. 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.
