Sapwood Redwood vs Heartwood Redwood Lumber
It’s very important to know the difference between sapwood and heartwood. Many people think they are one and the same.
The difference could be the matter of your project lasting 25 years or longer, or 25 months or less.
Heartwood redwood typically has been sold in lumber yards and has given redwood an outstanding reputation amongst builders for both interior and exterior applications.
Unfortunately, almost all of the big box stores and a number of our competitors carry a number of sapwood redwood products at their locations. Easily distinguishable by it’s white color, sapwood (especially in wet weather) can begin to rot out or be attacked by pests in as quickly as five or six months. WHY SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A PRODUCT THAT DOESN’T LAST!?!
When purchasing your redwood lumber, make sure to ask for an all heart product. Unfortunately, many uninformed homeowners ask there contractors simply for a redwood fence or deck, and what they receive is a cheap, inferior product. Fortunately for you at The Lumber Baron, you won’t have to worry about sapwood lumber. We won’t sell a product we don’t believe in, and therefore offer only all heart redwood lumber, in five different grades.
