Redwood bevel siding

Exciting . innovative . . beautiful all the adjectives fit the imaginative application of exterior redwood bevel siding on interior wal/s. It seems unlikely to find bevel siding in a formal dining room or a master bedroom, but a creative homeowner, working with his architect, designed a warm, robust interior with Simpson Timber's 3/4"x 10" redwood bevel siding.

Inside or outside, the design approach to a residence can be as unusual and successful as the owner, the designer, the builder's own imagination. In a townhouse application, (see photo), Simpson's standard redwood bevel siding was used in a fresh, unique design on the exterior.

In the residential interior application, the redwood bevel siding used on the exterior was duplicated in the dining room and the master bedroom. In the dining area, Simpson's clear all heart vertical grain bevel siding,3/4"x 10" was designed and applied in a manner that gave a dimensional character to the entire room. The careful attention to detail created an unusual shadow line. A semi-gloss sealer, to retain the natural tones of the redwood, was applied.

In this same house, another unusual vertical design application of the Simpson redwood bevel siding was the 24' accent wall, 8'high, in the master bedroom. Painted a pale yellow, the siding adds a strong texture to the room. Al1 other walls are painted the same soft color. Indirect lighting at the valance line brings out the shadow lines that provide a depth and a visual appeal in the 16'x24'room.

In the exterior townhouse application, the architects specified alternating course of ll2"x6" and 5/8"x 10" Simpson Timber bevel redwood siding, creating an interesting shadow detail that became a design factor. The shadow lines give the same visual sense as the interior application.

The exterior siding was double protected with a coat of transparent stain to seal the natural warmth of the redwood color, and a semi-transparent stain for weatherability.

Simpson redwood bevel siding of- fers versatility with a rough sawn face or a smooth textured side. Sizes range from 1 12"x6", 8" and 10" plain ; 3/4"x 8" and 10" plain or rabbeted.
