SARASOTA, Fla. — AdvantageLumber.com, a leading nationwide supplier of premium building materials, today announced that its Western Red Cedar sales have increased 50% year-over-year as ongoing U.S. antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CVD) duties on Canadian softwood lumber continue to create pricing volatility and inconsistent product availability throughout the marketplace. For decades, Canada has supplied the majority of the Western Red Cedar used in the United States. However, increasing trade duties have disrupted the supply chain, making cedar products more expensive and more difficult for many lumber dealers to source. Contractors and homeowners are increasingly encountering extended lead times, fluctuating pricing, and limited availability—particularly for longer lengths, different grades and harder-to-find dimensions. As a result, more customers are turning to AdvantageLumber.com for dependable inventory, nationwide shipping, and access to a broad selection of Western Red Cedar decking, siding, ceiling, fencing, T&G products, large dimensional timbers and custom millwork.
