Recent concerns about the environmental impact of the production and use of building materials have focused the attention of architects and builders on the need to specify products which minimize atmospheric pollution and are produced from renewable resources. Western Red Cedar and other species in British Columbia’s forests are harvested under a sustained yield policy which guarantees forest regeneration and biological diversity. Shake and Shingle production, which is virtually pollution free, is a secondary operation utilizing waste residuals from British Columbia’s main logging and sawmilling industry. Clearly Western Red Cedar Shakes and Shingles are the optimum environmental choice of cladding materials.
