Bevel Siding in aDramaticPattern

SELF-ALIGNING: r HEAVY SHADOW LINE: These sidings are available in 6" and S" rabbeted patterns which are double the thickness of %" sidings. The rabbeted feature makes for rapid, accurate application and the extra thickness provides a strong shadow line. o DESIGN VERSATILITY: On multi-story construction' the horizontal oatterns avoid the awkward transitions from floor to floor experienced with overused vertical patterns and panel products. r EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE AND APPEAR. ANCE: Palco's rustic redwood sidings are naturally air seasoned and very stable. They lie flat and stay flat when properly applied and finished. Shipments contain plenty of long lengths to reduce labor and keep butt joints to a minimum. The handsome saw-texturecl face holds paints and stains extremely well.

The rabbeted Pattern is self-aligning for easy aPPlication. Each piece lies flat against the sheathing, so nails can be set easily without splitting. Mitred corners are easy to cut. Hot-diqqed galvanized, sta,n/ess steel or aluminum nails are a must.

Palco's new rustic redwood sidings provide an ideal design solution for contemporary housing in the 80's. The strong horizontal lines work equally well on single story and multi-story structures. On multi-story houses, as shown above, the siding blends traditional design elements with the warmth of rustic redwood at an economical price.

REDWOOD BEVEL SIDING:

o STABLE: All stock is air seasoned in the rough before machining and resawing. The natural air seasoning process does not stress the wood. Knots hold better. There are fewer problems with splits, face checks, and cupping.

o WEATHER RESISTANT: Palco rustic redwood sidings have the stability and resistance to weather naturallv inherent in California redwood.

o SAW-TEXTURED SURFACE: The distinctive saw-textured face will hold properly applied paints and stains up to twice as long as smooth surlaces. Penetrating stains are particularly successful.

o ADDED INSULATION: Palco rustic redwood sidings with their extra thickness give improved insulation. For example, 1" of redwood has the same thermal insulation as a 5.g,, thickness of brick, 9" of concrete block, 13.7,,of concrete. and 1,706" ot aluminum.

o FIRE RESISTANT: Redwood's low flame spread rating offers a distinct advantage over most other wood products.

o UNIQUE NATURAL BEAUTY: Attractive grain and knot characteristics provide a genuine rustic appearance. Redwood's Heartwood and Sapwood together provide a pleasing color contrast not available with other sidings.

o EASY TO HANDLE: Palco rustic redwood siding is light in weight for easy handling.

o EXTRA LONG LENGTHS: Random tengths of 6, to 20, go up fast and reduce application costs.

1. For sheathing use plywood, lumber or fiberboard.

2. Nail as shown in photographs to right and below left.

3. Use only corrosion-resistant nails to avoid staining of the wood: top quality hotdipped galvanized, aluminum or stainless steel

4. Nails must penetrate 172" into studs or llz" combination of wood sheathing and studs. lf sheathing is not solid wood use nails long enough to penetrate studs 1%".

FINISHING RECOMMENDATIONS:

Palco's Rustic Redwood can be finished for a variety of appearances.

STAINS: Popular oil-base semi-transparent stains provide color but don't hide the grain, knots or texture. Oil-base opaque stains will usually obscure the grain and knots but not the texture.

PAINTS: Top coat can be either latex or oil-base and must be applied over a compatible prime coat. prime coat must be an oil or alkyd-resin base, or a stain-resistant latex base.

WATER-REPELLENTS: A non-pigmented water-repellent coating will minimize darkening. The surface will become a buckskin tan. lf reapplied, water-repellent can keep the buckskin color; il not, driftwood gray will be reached in time. DO NOT USE shake and shingle paints, low lustre alkyd paints, or varnishes.

L.P Says Thanks

A recent customer open house by Louisiana-Pacific at their big Orange, Ca., distribution center was a way of saying thanks to their patrons as well as to promote their new line of L-P Waferwood and the pressure treated Outdoor Wood they also handle. Both have been good sellers for them.

The event also pointed up the wide line of building products now handled at the 12 acre facility. In addition to the old standby plywood, they now inventory poles, plastic/wood bender board, redwood, and green Douglas fir lumber, pine boards, posts, sheathing, stakes, landscape lumber and a variety of industrial lumber, such as pine.

SHIRTSLEEVE weather was a nice plus lor the open house. (1) Russ & Lisa Adair, L-P mgr. Mike Sampson, John Mazanet. (2) Bill & Lettie Caswell, Kathy Arndt, Ray Bell. (3) Dennis Kirk, Patti Matweeff, Steve Gwaltney. (4) Steve Thurgood, Doug Bench.
