SAPWOOD vs HEARTWOOD

The difference between Redwood SAP Wood and HEART Wood ? 

Color Contrast and Resistance to Elements

REDWOOD SIDING HEART B NEAR CLEAR GRADE


Both sapwood and heartwood have similar grades categories - Construction, Selects, Clears and Near Clears - but these grades have nothing to do with SapWood or HeartWood. The Grades categories are only specifications of how many knots/flaws are allowed in the grade.

A SAP Redwood Siding order will contain a mix of boards with heartwood and sapwood usually on the same board. A designation of HEART allows NO sapwood. The only way to get all RED color and none of the lighter sapwood is to specify "all heart".

This comes at a price since there is less heart in the world and manual selection of timbers is required to assure the ALL HEART designation.

To clarify - unless the word HEART appears in your order there is no limit on the amount of white wood allowed (though most self respecting mills fulfill Redwood SAP orders with 50/50 split heart to sap).


REDWOOD SIDING PRICES

Supply is limited and pricing inconsistent because the costs of production vary significantly as stock diminishes. 

We try to post prices on the web for all our products. But with redwood the size, grade and pattern you want may not be millable from stock on hand close enough to your job site to accurately predict pricing on our website.

For the moment we can still source redwood from the old timer mills who stockpiled redwood timbers in a past era.  But it is hard to advertise prices online since they change frequently and are dependent on inventory in hand at time of inquiry.

We will keep our Sap B "Near Clear" grade Redwood siding pricing until that stock runs out and then it will be call for quote from now on. If you want this beautiful wood on your home I suggest doing it this year because it just might not be here the next.

COVERAGE

BUYER BEWARE WARNING: There are wood siding industry guidelines for  actual "dressed" widths and "Exposed Face" measurements but individual mills often have their own pattern standards which vary from the norm. When you get ready to buy be sure to ASK for the exposed width to make sure you are buying enough to complete the job!

WOOD SIDING SQFT->LFT COVERAGE GUIDE


Redwood Siding is often sold by the linear (or lineal) foot in 6", 8" and sometimes 10" and 12" widths. These widths are called NOMINAL "in name only" measurements.  The ACTUAL or "dressed" width will be less. Be sure to confirm the DRESSED pattern measurements with the mill or lumber yard BEFORE you buy. Running a hundred SQFT short can cost $$$$ if custom milling and shipping are involved.

GRADES

California Redwood Association Redwood Grade Descriptions & Diagrams

Redwood Lumber Grades

Redwood "Clear All Heart" (CAH) grade contains only wood from the heart of the tree and is the finest architectural redwood grade. It is free of all defects on one face. The reverse face is allowed slight imperfections. Our T&G, Shiplap and Channel Lap redwood siding patterns are reversible with one rough and one smooth face. 

Redwood "Clear" grade is the same quality as "Clear All Heart" - the finest architectural heartwood grade - except that it contains sapwood in varying amounts and is allowed slight visual imperfections (which we consider character) on both faces. As far as allowable flaws and defect is concerned it is very similar to Clear All Heart - as far as resistance to moisture, rot and insects is concerned it is nothing like "all heart" redwood and needs to be protected in order to perform.

The other difference between CLEAR and CLEAR ALL HEART redwood grades is visual - the sap is bright yellow and the heart is deep red. The contrast can be striking. This contrast is beautiful to some (myself included) and this is the least expensive way to get the fewest amount of knots. You are giving up resistance and uniformity but you can augment resistance with technology and "tone" the contrast with stains.
