About California Redwood Decking
Redwood is naturally resistant to insects and decay, and resists warping and splitting. The warm reddish tonal range makes a statement and creates a dramatic effect that few building materials can achieve without the aid of a saturated stain.
With regular maintenance, Redwood decking can last up to 15-20 years. At any stage in the aging process, it is possible to preserve Redwood’s distinct color by simply applying a sealer, or allow it to weather naturally to a silvery patina. The application of sealants, paints or other finishes is not required to complete a Redwood structure, which is resistant to UV rays, so it will maintain its beautiful vibrant appearance for decades to come.

California Redwood Decking Grades
Heart Clear
The Decking Superstore’s Heart Clear Redwood only contains durable heartwood and therefore showcase the very best attributes of this Northern California softwood. This highest quality appearance wood is virtually clear, free of knots and any imperfections. Color streaking is consistently red with little to no white striping. This product is a popular choice for siding, paneling, decking, trim or any other appearance applications and is typically construction grade.
Clear Heart Face
Our Clear Heart Face Redwood also shares the same premium qualities and characteristics as Heart Clear, however this more cost-effective option has an exceptional and consistent “all-red-side”. When installed outwards in an appearance application, it is very difficult to tell the difference between this grade and Heart Clear.
Heart B
Similar to Heart Clear and Clear Heart Face, this cost-effective but still higher end grade of Redwood may have minor imperfections and white streaking (sapwood). You may encounter some knots which makes this an even more cost-effective solution to Clear Heart Face. Perfect for complementing your Redwood deck with a matching outdoor structure such as timbers for a pergola and garden arbor (while saving you money).
Select Heart
This more budget-friendly grade of Redwood may contain knots of varying sizes and other slight imperfections such as more white streaking throughout. This grade is ideal for fencing, pergolas and lattice panels.
Construction Heart
This grade of Redwood has very similar appearances to Select Heart, but is not graded for strength in construction. Usually used around the home, garden and in general construction
