Palco Rustic Redruood Vertical Sidings

r Attractive

The combination of pattern, attractive grain, knot characteristics and color give these Palco Rustic redwood sidings a genuine, rugged appearance.

r Stable

Palco Rustic Sidings are carefully airseasoned to reduce shrinking and warping. Knots hold better and the wood stays straighter and flatter than unseasoned wood sidinos.

r Economical

The wood is lightweight, easy to handle and costs less than many other siding materials. Random lengths of

6'to 20'go up fast, save on labor costs, reduce trim waste, and limit the numberof toints.

r Installs Easily

Each pattern is self-aligning, making it easy to apply. Shiplap patterns avoid unsig htly horizontal seams created by other exterior panel products.

r Finishes Well

The saw-textured face holds paints and stains up to twice as long as smooth surfaces. Penetrating oilbase stains work especially well on Rustic redwood sidings and provide a durable, handsome exterior.

r Other Advantages

Man ufactu red f rom authentic California redwood, these Rustic sidings offer a relatively low flame spread rating compared to other wood sidings. These sidings also provide better insulating properties than brick, stucco, concrete block, concrete or aluminum.

Application Instructions

I Forsheating, use plywood, lumber or fiberboard.

r Nailing patterns. See instructions aoove.

I Use only corrosion resistant nails to avoid staining of the wood. ToP quality hot-dipped galvanized, aluminum or stainless steel nails are recommended.

r Nails must penetrale 1/2" inlo studs or combination of solid wood sheathing and studs. Horizontal blocking between studs, or furring strips applied over solid wood sheathing, spaced 24" O.C. should be used for vertical applications.

r All end joints should fall over studs, blocking orfurring strips.

Finishing Recommendations

The saw-textured face should be exposed This su perb su rface holds f inishes up to twice as long as smooth surfaces and resists weathering extremely well. All redwood sidings should be finished and have the finish maintained {or best oerformance.

r Stiains

Popular oil-base and semi-transoarent stains add and retain color, provide protection and do not hide the natural grain, knots or texture of the wood. Oil-base opaque stains will obscure the grain and knots and highlight the wood's texture. Stains containing water repellents and mildewcides are recommended for improved appearance.

r Paints

Use an oil or alkyd-resin base or top quality stain resistant primer on all sides of the lumber. Two acrylic latex too-coats are recom mended.

rWater Repellents

A clear water repellent coating will minimize darkening. The surface will become a buckskin tan. lf maintained, a water repellent will hold a tan color; if not, the wood will eventually reach a driftwood or dark gray.
