Cedar Board & Batten Siding

Board-and-batten is a vertical design created using wide clear or knotty cedar boards spaced apart with narrower boards (battens) covering the joins. There is no set board or batten widths - various combinations are used to create different looks suitable for large or small-scale applications. A frequent combination is 1"x3" battens and 1"x10" boards. This can also be reversed with boards installed over battens to create a deep channel effect. Board-on Board siding is a vertical design utilizing a wider batten to create even spaced appearance. A frequent combination is 1”x6” boards over 1”x10” boards creating a 6” on 6” profile.

Rough sawn boards or boards surfaced on one side and two edges (S1S2E) are commonly used for board-and-batten siding. Sizes are from 1"x 2" to 1"x12".

Cedar Tongue and Groove Siding

Tongue and groove is widely used for its good looks and versatility. It can be installed horizontally, vertically or diagonally, each method giving a distinctly different look. Tongue and groove siding is available with rough or smooth faces. The joints between adjoining pieces are usually v-shaped but flush jointed, reveal and radius joints are also available. The different joints and surface textures in tongue and groove siding combine to provide a range of shadow line effects that enhance the product's versatility.

Tongue and groove siding is manufactured in clear grades suitable for a more refined, elegant appearance, particularly when pieces are smooth faced. Knotty grades are most popular for their rustic, casual look.

Cedar Lap Siding

Lap sidings are normally supplied in a variety of patterns either clear or knotty grades and with a smooth or saw textured face.

Channel siding is a popular type of lap siding and is used whenever a rustic appearance is desired. A versatile siding, it can be installed vertically, horizontally or diagonally. In channel siding, the profile of each board partially overlaps that of the board next to it creating a channel that gives shadow line effects, provides excellent weather protection and allows for dimensional movement. When custom milling a lap or shiplap siding, the amount of reveal can be modified from flush up to 2”.

Cedar Bevel Siding

Cedar bevel siding is the most widely used siding type. Resawing lumber at an angle to produce two pieces thicker on one edge than the other produces it. The manufacturing process results in pieces with one face saw textured. The other face is smooth or saw textured depending on the grade and customer preference. Bevel siding is installed horizontally and gives an attractive shadow line, which varies with the thickness of siding selected. Rabbetted bevel siding is notched on the bottom backside to allow the siding courses to “stack” creating consistent course lines and easy installation.

Bevel siding is available in clear and knotty grades. Clear siding gives premium appearance and is ideal for smooth surface applications. Knotty siding typically has a rough face and used in applications where a rustic appearance is desired.
