NASSAU CEDAR TRIM
Cedar accent trim is a premium architectural choice that combines natural elegance with exceptional durability for both interior and exterior applications. Renowned for its rich, warm reddish-brown tones and distinctive grain patterns, species like Western Red Cedar and Eastern Red Cedar provide a high-end, rustic, or contemporary look that enhances any home’s curb appeal.
Beyond its beauty, cedar is naturally engineered to last. The wood contains organic oils that act as preservatives, making it highly resistant to decay, rot, and insect infestations without the need for harsh chemicals. This makes it an ideal material for framing windows, doors, and gables, as well as for decorative elements like crown molding and baseboards.
To maintain its vibrant color, it is recommended to apply a UV-protective sealer or stain every 3–5 years. Left untreated, cedar will gracefully weather to a sophisticated silvery-gray patina. Lightweight and easy to work with, cedar trim is a sustainable and renewable resource that adds significant long-term value and character to your property.

Cedar contains organic oils and compounds that act as self-preserving barriers against rot, decay, and moisture. This makes it exceptionally long-lasting in humid or rainy climates like the Pacific Northwest.
The same aromatic oils that give cedar its pleasant scent are naturally toxic or repellent to common pests, including termites, ants, moths, and cockroaches.
Unlike many other softwoods, cedar has a low density and minimal shrinkage. It resists warping, twisting, and swelling even during severe weather changes, ensuring trim lines stay straight and secure over time.
Cedar’s porous cellular structure contains small air pockets that provide natural thermal insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures. It also excels at absorbing noise, contributing to a quieter home environment.
Cedar’s warm tones and fine grain patterns complement various architectural styles, from rustic cabins to sleek contemporary designs. It can be left to weather into a silver-gray patina or stained in a wide range of colors to match specific palettes.
