Walls-Siding-Engineered-Wood ...

The exterior finish on the building wall has to satisfy both the form and the functional requirements -- it has to be aesthetically appealing and at the same time it has to protect the building envelope from the elements.

In our discusion of the anatomy of a building wall we talked about the exterior finish as being the skin on the skeleton (structure) of the wall.

Wood siding presents a number of options and aesthetically appealing styles. In this section I present offerings in engineered wood from TruWood. The attachment of the siding will depend on the wall structure, but the finished surface will have the same appearance regardless of the structure or the skeleton of the wall.

In this section, I will be discussing the engineered-wood-siding. There are some very attractive siding options in engineered wood, such as TruWood. The siding offerings come in panels, boards, plank, and so on. There are a number of choices in finishes, such as oldmill, cedar shake, stucco, smooth and so on. The accessories include corners, and joint covers. Let us look some of the offerings in engineered wood from TruWood ...

We want to ensure that the exterior finish applied to the wall structure is compatible with the constituent material of the wall structure. We do not want to see the nail-heads or screws protruding through to the surface. We do not want the fastening nails or screws to leave rust stains on the surface of the siding.

We want to ensure that the exterior finish applied to the wall structure satisfies the aesthetic appeal requirements, provides for trouble free service, and is easily maintainable.

It should look good. It should provided needed protection from elements. It should be non-toxic, it should provide for good thermal insulation, and it should also eliminate or minimize air infiltration.
