Wood Siding
Wood siding is “the original siding”. Before the the mass production of houses began, all siding was wood. Wood is durable and resistant. Over time people realized it was very maintenance intensive and started to use more maintenance-free products, but thats no longer the case; Main manufacturers like CapeCod, Fraser and Mabec offer a 15 years warranty on their products from the moment of installation. It is still more maintenance intensive that plastic or metal, however it is nowhere near as intensive as before thanks to the advancements in paint and sealer technology.
Fraser Wood, Mabec and Cape Cod Siding are both exceptional products in the siding industry. They have a wide range of trims, colours and accessories to suit any design. They both deliver a ready to install product with no messy drips, no painting or staining and no weather delays.
If looks and high performance is what you are looking for then wood siding is the product for you. It is welcoming and beautiful. Check out their websites for more information and ideas.
Some of the available profiles in wood siding are, Lap siding in bevel and dutch styles. Board and Batten and V-grove vertical sidings. And of course wood shingles, in different finishes and shapes.
Another great way to cover a wall with wood is with traditional Cedar Shingles. It is by far the most durable of all woods, without the need to apply any paint.
