 Western Red cedar has been traditionally used in timber shutters and Dial a Blind takes pride in using the highest-grade cedar available.
 

 Timber Features & Origin
Having a reputation as one of the world’s largest cedars, this fine timber is renown in the industry for its stability, durability and variation in grain and colour, making it the most suitable timbers for blind making.

Cedar’s natural preservative oils make it highly resistant to the effects of time and weather and extremely suitable for Australian climate conditions.

Its unique cellular structure makes it a highly efficient insulator against heat, cold and noise. Western Red Cedar’s long density gives the smallest shrinkage of any commercial softwood, thus providing outstanding resistance to warping and twisting.

Imported to Australia in log form from large managed plantations in North America and British Columbia, the timber is kiln dried, (using the vertical grain to resist warping) and micro sanded before going through the lengthy process of becoming a blind.
