Whether remodeling or building new, consider using composite or engineered wood siding as an affordable alternative to traditional wood (figure A). - Engineered siding has a natural wood texture and contains resins for better durability and weather resistance.
- Best of all, engineered siding cuts and installs just like real wood so no special tools are required.
- Engineered siding resists many of the problems associated with real wood, such as rot, termites and denting. Plus, they come pre-primed so finishing the job is faster (figure B).
- Whether installing lap siding, fascia, soffits or trim, consider engineered wood siding. They'll provide enduring beauty for years to come (figure C).
Web Extra: - Some engineered composite woods come in extra long 16' panels resulting in less waste and fewer seams.
- Make sure you apply an acrylic latex that is recommended for factory primed engineered wood siding.
- Store engineered wood siding off the ground on a flat surface and keep it dry. Allow the siding to adjust to the atmospheric conditions prior to installation.
