Construction lumber is a very important building material. During the Republic of China period, construction lumber was the main building material. Now, with the increasing living standards of the people, and higher demands for building strength and quality, construction lumber has exposed many shortcomings as a building material, and has gradually been replaced by other materials. However, some countries still use wood to build houses, which has its own unique characteristics.
Although there are many materials that have replaced construction lumber, it is still used in construction projects. This shows that it still has certain advantages that other materials cannot replace. So what are the advantages of construction lumber? One is that it is relatively light and easy to assemble. Moreover, it has high bending strength, better plasticity than other materials, and the houses built with it have a unique artistic sense. This is why some Western countries are still using wood to build houses.

Red cedar has excellent stability, a long lifespan, and is not easily deformed. Its excellent preservative ability comes from a naturally occurring class of alcohols known as Thujaplicins; in addition, a naturally occurring acidic substance called Thujic acid, extractable from red cedar, ensures that the wood is not attacked by insects, eliminating the need for artificial preservation and pressure treatment. Western red cedar, due to its lack of chemical treatment and its purely natural characteristics, is very popular in the global market.
