When you think of cedar ...
think of Pan-Abode. It's the cedar that transforms your
Pan-Abode into an integral part of your home
environment. It's the cedar that embodies warmth,
harmony and tranquility. It's the cedar that creates a
bond between Man and nature. |

Western Red Cedar is a
distinct, superior species unique to the North West
Coast of North America, where it has been used for
centuries by the peoples of this region.
Cedar has many natural
characteristics which make it ideal for building quality
homes. It is impervious to the weather, stable,
finishes beautifully and has a lasting aroma that is
refreshing and inviting. The natural insulating
qualities of cedar have made it the preferred species
for building in some of the world's coldest climates.
Western Red Cedar is
saturated with a natural preservative and is coveted for
its resistance to splitting, cracking, decay, rot and
pestilence. These innate characteristics make cedar the
ideal choice for building in tropical climates where
mildew and insect infestation are surmounted without
having to introduce man-made preservatives into the
fibre of your home.
Cedar's exceptionally light,
soft texture and close, even, straight grain not only
make it easy to work with, but result in a finish that
is silky smooth to perfection. Additionally, cedar is
free from pitch. It also takes and holds to staining
beautifully.

| Western Red Cedar’s very low coefficient of
expansion means that it does not shrink, swell, or warp
excessively, even when subjected to changing degrees of
temperature or moisture. And it’s a superb insulator. |
| |
| It’s coloring is
uniquely attractive offering rich, warm coppery hues in
unfinished form and it acts as a natural air freshener
leaving a subtle aromatic odor. But that’s only a small
part of the story. |

Cedar
is a wood of exceptional beauty with
a richly textured grain that no man-made material can
duplicate. |

The
feeling of peace attributed to a
Pan-Abode home is a direct result of the natural aroma
of the cedar itself. It's this characteristic long
lasting fragrance that
gives Pan-Abode its universal appeal. |

Pan-Abode has taken
advantage of the unique qualities of cedar and has
created homes that are warm, secure, tranquil and
enduring. People who live in a Pan-Abode home
consistently comment on how relaxed and peaceful they
feel. It is never known as just their home or just their
cottage, but as their Pan-Abode - a home that is part of
the family heritage, to be passed on from generation to
generation. |
