In an industry where many jobs and projects are specifying FSC materials, we want to tell you about the most natural and lowest environmental impacting product on the market: FSC Western Red Cedar.

This durable wood has one of the longest life spans of any North American softwood.  It produces long lengths of timber with true, straight grain.  It is the preferred material where attractive appearance or resistance to weather is important.  In addition, it machines like a dream.  It takes on fasteners without splitting, and it is easily sawn.

Harvested in well-managed forests in British Columbia, mills can use a startling 95% of this tree for industry applications.  The remaining 5% is left on the forest floor and becomes rich compost for future cedar trees.  Along with its other amazing attributes, you can feel terrific about the efficient nature of this beautiful wood an its impact on our ecology.

Sterritt Lumber stocks a wide variety of FSC Western Red Cedar.  Whether you are in need of boards, siding patterns, decking, dimension lumber, or bevel, we can meet your many FSC needs with this amazing and natural product!

Sterritt Lumber has been selected for a feature on the New England Cable Network to be aired this fall!  ”Best of the Northeast” is a lifestyle feature program that highlights the premiere businesses of New England and beyond.

Because of Sterritt Lumber’s progress in the field of FSC certified products and green building materials, our company was selected for this prestigious feature.  ”It is an honor to be represented on this popular lifestyle program,” stated Jack Mackin, Chief Operating Officer.  ”We hope we can expose even more viewers in New England to the values of building in ways that preserve our environment.”

This feature show will be aired on Saturdays in the fall at 2 PM: November 12, 19, 26, and December 3, 10, and 17.  NECN reaches over 3.7 million homes throughout New England.

By stocking Trex composite decking, we here at Sterritt Lumber can pass along our good feelings about this innovative product to you.  Why?  Well, Trex is made of 95% recycled materials, including plastic shopping bags, reclaimed wood, and sawdust.  In manufacturing it this way, Trex keeps nearly 600 million pounds of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills every year.  Every year!

The other reason you should feel as good about this product as we do is that is is gorgeous!  It is available in rich colors, and two styles: the Transcend, which is an elegant product with unsurpassed performance, and the Accents, which gives a beautiful grainy appearance to your deck.

It doesn’t weaken, rot, or split.  In addition, you would not need to invest in stain or expensive cleaning supplies.  In short, your longterm investment in this product would be minimal!
