Premium Decking Clear All Heart Redwood
Sequoia Premium is a Clear All Heart Redwood
(with heart clear developing). It has many
properties that make it an outstanding choice
for exterior residential and commercial decking,
landscaping and industrial projects. It is the
highest quality Redwood available with a
beautiful pinkish red hue and excellent
durability. Redwood Heartwood can render 20+
years of durability. Sequoia Premium Decking
offers a splendid natural grain and texture. It
is termite and insect resistant. Redwood’s Clear
All Heart grade boasts a Class B – low flame
spread rating. Sequoia Premium Decking is now
available as green and air seasoned. Sequoia Premium
Decking is milled with a smooth surface on all
four sides and eased edges. Redwood’s strength
and dimensional stability is verified by the
fact that 2x6 can be spaced 24 inches on center
in most residential decking applications. This
joist span translates to a substantial cost
savings in both time and money since less
substructure lumber is needed. It is also easy
to work with, mill, nail or drill.
 Sequoia Premium is a pinkish red
color. To maintain this color a protective
finish with UV inhibitors must be applied.
Redwood left unfinished will turn a silver gray
color.
Sequoia Premium is available in
these sizes: 2x2, 2x4, 2x6, 2x8, 2x12, 4x4, 2x6
Handrail and 2x4 Subrail. Redwood
for decking is an environmentally sound choice.
“New young Redwood forests are growing at a
phenomenal rate. Nearly 400,000 acres are
preserved in public parks and reserves. Redwood
is harvested from both public and private land
zoned for timber production. ”(California
Redwood Association) Redwood
Empire has a strong commitment to the
environment. We practice responsible harvesting,
milling and distribution of exceptional quality
Redwood. Our forestry practices continue to
achieve sustained yield due to our carefully
managed timberlands.
IPE'
Ipe represents the best of the best in decking
surfaces. Ipe is virtually splinter free, and highly
resistant to rot, decay or termites. Ipe boasts the
highest fire resistant rating possible: Class A . It

Exotic Hardwoods
The following are tropical Hardwoods from South
America. In addition to IPE Hardwood (air-dried), we
also stock several Kiln-Dried Exotic Hardwoods:
Brazilian Redwood (Massaranduba), Cumaru (Dipteryx
odorata), Tigerwood (Muiracatiara), and Angelim Pedra (Dinizia excelsa). They
are not only individually unique and beautiful they
are also extremely suitable for decking, trellis,
exterior and interior furniture, bridges, truck
bedding, etc.
We have a full line of decking available in
Brazilian Redwood Hardwood. This includes: 1x4, 1x6,
5/4x6, 5/4x8, 2x2, 2x4, 2x6, 4x4, Handrail, Subrail,
and plugs. We also offer the 1x6 and 5/4x6 in a
clear-coat pre-finished condition. Since all of the
kiln-dried hardwoods need to be finished on all four
sides prior to installation, purchasing it
pre-finished eliminates that staining+ labor step
for the contractor and/or consumer.
The remainder of the Kiln-Dried Exotic Hardwoods are
only available in the decking sizes of either 1x6 or
5/4x6. Usually Redwood or IPE Hardwood are used for
the deck railing components.
