Shiplap Interior Paneling

Using the ColortonesComplete® process produces a high-quality applied coating with optimal thickness and coverage. Once coating is applied, each piece of wood is stored in a covered area with a concrete floor so that all prefinshed wood is never exposed to sun or rain. Once dried, the individual pieces are packaged in rainproof wrap and ready to deliver, or if you are local and desire to pick up your material, this is an option as well.

Wood Species Options:

–  Western Red Cedar

–  Eastern White Pine

–  Yellow Pine

–  Cypress

–  Spruce

–  Cherry

–  Teak

–  Oak

Pre-finished aka Faux Wood Siding

Have you ever driven by a house and thought – Wow?! How did they create this contemporary look?  What’s that exterior made of? Chances are this home was designed with Fiber Cement Panels or a very creative Composite Exterior Siding such as Boral or it could be wood – Cedar!

Fiber Cement board was developed in the 80’s by James Hardie as a replacement for asbestos cement board. Fiber Cement board is a mixture of sand, cement and cellulose and can be manufactured as lap siding, trim and panels with a variety of textures from smooth finishes to stucco. Today there are other manufacturers such as Allura and Nichiha.

With the development of the various types of Siding profiles and sizes, the Designers and Architects have created some very contemporary exteriors.

For those whose design call for fiber cement panels, metal strips are installed to seal the seams for a more contemporary look

This Designer chose pre-finished Fiber Cement Panels in a Cedar finish. Notice the metal trim used to seal the panels for a very clean, contemporary look!   (more…)
