2×8 Tight Knot Cedar Scan Log T&G-Sikkens L&S 077 Cedar
Our team of wood technology experts have been manufacturing wood siding for over 35 years. We start by purchasing our raw material directly from the finest sawmills in North America. Selected for quality of fiber, carefully dried, and then processed through some of the most technologically advanced machinery available. Guided by people who care, from the creation of new patterns to packaging for shipment to anywhere in the country. We believe you too will see the difference. Our wood siding is created to minimize maintenance and help retain their original look for the life of your home. All sidings will offer a rough, wirebrushed, skipsawn or sanded smooth surface to maximize exterior finish adhesion and durability. We offer prefinishing on all of our wood siding and specialize in Sikkens Wood Finishes for increased performance and simplicity. We invite you to look over our 7 wood siding collections. To help you in the selection process, we have unfinished samples available in packages of 3 for $ 15.00. Prefinished samples are $ 13.00 each. If by chance you still can’t find what you are looking for, we have the option of creating and manufacturing a custom siding that is perfect for your application.
