While Ruf-sawn may be used for interior or exterior remodeling, it is particularly ideal for new home construction. Like all Simpson redwood plywoods, it is constructed with an exterior glue line. Being all redwood, Rufsawn has a natural resistance to decay and insect attack and is easily painted, stained or finished with a clear natural finish.
