Advantages and Benefits:
WHAT MAKES THERMO-TREATED 3D GROOVED SIDING SO SPECIAL?
- Premium Thermally Modified 3D Grooved Siding has a unique design accented by the deep, thin grooves on the surface. It is durable for 25 years due to the thermo-treatment process. The siding is made from laminated thermo-treated hardwoods, which accents a variety of wood grains.
- The boards are covered with a double UV protection oil (Hard Wax Oil + Thompson’s Clear Oil) on all four sides. The oil penetrates in the grooves to make them darker than other wood and accent this unique pattern.
- Our thermo-treated 3D Grooved Siding doesn’t have any analogous on the market and is superior to any existing architectural siding products in this segment.
ADVANTAGES OF THERMO-TREATMENT FOR GROOVED SIDING
- Essential Durability
Thermo treatment is a chemical-free process resulting in unmatched durability and natural resistance to termites and pests. - Lowest Maintenance
The improved dimensional stability allows for extended maintenance intervals compared to other wood products. - Repels Moisture
Thermally-treated wood naturally repels moisture to prevent the warping, shrinking, and swelling of the wood. - Class B Fire Rating
Reduced combustibility due to thermo-treatment. - Exotic wood look
The brown color is consistent beyond the surface.
ADVANTAGES OF FACORY OILING
- Makes product ready to use;
- Prevents fading of color under sunlight;
- Prevents seasonal surface checking;
- It makes wood grain sound and attractive;
- Our free FOUR side oiling saves you $2-4/SF, which contractors usually charge for ONE-side surface oiling on site; oiling of the back side is extremely important to increase the lifetime and performance of your siding.
INSTALLATION TIPS
- Cut it, sand it, nail it, drill it, paint, or stain it as you would practically any standard-grade lumber, using the same standard tools.
- Consider that thermo-treated wood is drier (4% EMC), lighter in weight, and slightly more brittle than non-treated wood.
- Install wood siding with finishing nails (# 16 or 18, of 1.5″-2″ long), nailing on the tongue and through the face when needed.
- Saw speed will affect the cut quality; generally, the higher the saw power, the better the cut quality.
- A high-quality sealant with UV protection should be used after the first one to two years.
