Hickory Wall Planks (10 SF)

Technical specifications:

Premium Thermally Modified “CLOUDS” Panels made from laminated hardwoods (Hickory, Acacia, Poplar) make a unique design by accenting the color and grain play within one piece of wood and between different pieces. The panels are durable for 25 years due to the thermo-treatment process.
The panels are covered with a double UV protection oil (Thompson’s Clear Oil-based sealant) on all four sides. The oil has UV protection against color degradation over time, but to keep an original color, we’d recommend repeating oiling every 1-2 years.

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 wood’s warping, shrinking, and swelling.
Class B Fire Rating
Reduced combustibility due to thermo-treatment.
Exotic wood look
The brown color is consistent beyond the surface.

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.

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.
Take into consideration, that thermo-treated wood is drier (4% EMC), lighter in weight, and a little more brittle than non-treated wood.
Install wood Panels over furring strips for ventilation (alternate 20″ and 24″ span – vertical or horizontal). Use outdoor-rated finishing nails through the face. Thermo-treated wood furring strips are available.
Saw speed will have an effect on 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.

NOTES:
