Redwood and Energy Gosts

The main thrust of the summer and fall promotion at California Redwood Assn. is the beauty and insulating qualities of redwood clears when used for interior paneling.

Aimed at the growing do-it-yourself and home improvement markets, the message is that the superior insulating qualities of redwood combined with redwood's unique beauty, durability, and low maintenance represent an unbeatable combination. The spiraling high cost of energy is increasing homeowners' interest in getting more for their money. Redwood lumber used as paneling can help the homeowner substantially decrease heat loss, and increase the value and attractiveness of his home.
