Types of Wood Siding

The wood we use ranges from softer and more pliable varieties to durable and hearty kinds. The cost of the wood siding panels reflects their consistency; the stronger woods are going to be more expensive since they’re more resistant to decay and damage.

Cedar, redwood, and cypress are all examples of more durable wood while pine and spruce fall into the softwood category. The cost of these woods varies, due to their strength and also your location.

Once you’ve decided on the type of wood that you would like, you’ll then have to consider which design and style variation you would like.

One way is clapboard siding where boards of wood overlap, almost like shingles, creating a wedged effect. Alternatively, you may prefer horizontal panels, traditional shingles, shakes, or more artistic choices with various shades and shapes of wood.

As a natural substance, wood siding is environmentally friendly; it is biodegradable, even when worn down. However, that may be a problem for some, as even the most premium wood siding materials will start to decay over time. Wood siding systems tend to have a lifespan of around thirty years.

Maintaining Wood Siding

While wood is a highly resilient material, it does require regular maintenance. Since wood expands and retracts with changing temperatures, warping may occur, which over time can lead to your wood panels bending and breaking.

Wood is also susceptible to termite and carpenter ant infestation. Usually, signs of these pests mean that wood decay is already in progress, and they will undoubtedly speed up the process. To prevent corrosion and fires in your home, it’s essential to have your wood siding treated.

As long as your wood siding is adequately maintained and professionally installed, you’ll have absolutely nothing to worry about. See the difference natural wood can make by bringing a bit of rustic charm to your home’s exterior.
