Wood Wall Cladding Education and Training


Wooden wall cladding for exterior walls comes in many forms and materials. Bevel and wavy-edge bevel exterior wood wall cladding systems run horizontally. Channel systems run vertically, as do board and batten styles of siding, and shingles. You can install tongue and groove boards either vertically or horizontally. Finishes vary from a rustic weathered wood look, including log cabin appearance, to glossy finished surfaces. Materials run from hard woods, such as oak wall cladding, to softer varieties, such as cedar and fir. You may also use spruce and pine, but you must treat it with a preservative to provide protection from insects, sunlight, and weather.

Other products such as vinyl, steel, composites, and fiber cement are available and offer some advantages over natural wood wall cladding systems. However, all such products seek to mimic natural wood. Natural wood is the best and customers will always request it for upscale projects.

Wood wall cladding contractors should consider:

1. Climate conditions where they will install wooden cladding - wind, moisture, and temperature variations.

2. Potential problems with insects and material at grade level, which could influence choice of wood variety.

3. Availability and wood cladding prices, which may vary from year to year.
