California Redwood Offers Sustainable and Beautiful Wood Products
(PRWEB) February 26, 2014 -- Classic Heart Redwood is described as having a complex, yet uniform red color. It stays cooler under-foot even in hot climates, the product has the highest flame rating in Class B wood and is cheaper than composite decking. No other softwood has the rich beauty or the long-lasting performance of redwood and most other softwoods can’t hold paint, stain or other coatings as well as redwood products.
