Cedar Building

(('orrtinua<l lrcn page 14) natural wood and western red cedar says it all."

Moholt recommends that dealers tell potential customers that beautifully grained western red cedar can be specified either clear or selected knotty. Dealers also should stress the range of patterns available to allow for greater design flexibility including square-edged, tongue-and-groove, v-joint and channel. Other options to be explained include boards laid up as board-on-board or board-and-batten patterns.

Another point which should be clarified for a client is the use of stains. A variety of transparent stains can be used to accent the wood tones as well as add a new, exciting dimen- sion to the natural beauty of cedar siding.

Product sales opportunities abound for those who promote the many qualities and benefits of red cedar for commercial building applications as siding, paneling, decking, interior finish, ceilings, accents and outdoor uses, Moholt emphasizes. The examples presented on these pages show how these versatile products can add dramatic beauty to non-residential buildings inside and out.

"Dealers and distributors tracking the commercial building business in their areas have solid opportunities for increased product sales," Moholt says. He adds that if you need some business building idea stimulators to show to your local design/construction teams, you can write to the association for help.
