Specific Advantages Of Palco Rustic

REDWOOD RABBETED BEVEL SIDING: ls air-seasoned:

Air-seasoning for many months before being run to pattern removes most of the moisture from the wood slowly and naturally. This process dries the wood without stresses. Knots are held in place better and check less. Seasoning helps sustain the beauty of redwood's natural color. The reduced weight provides easy handling and significantly reduces shipping costs.

Has redwood's inherent characteristicsl

1. Unique natural beauty with attractive grain and knots. Sapwood and heartwood together provide a pleasing color contrast.

2. Dimensional stability with minimum warping, cupping or checking.

3. A cellular structure that provides superior workabilityeasy sawing and nailing.

4. Superior finish-holding of stains and paints.

5. Decay and insect resistance of redwood heartwood make it very durable.

6. Resistance to damaging weathering effects.

7. Excellent insulator-1" redwood has the same thermal insulation as 5.8" thickness of brick, 9" concrete block, 13.7" concrete. 1,706.0" aluminum.

8. Low flame spread rating, means more resistance to flame spreading than most other species of wood products.

Has top quality saw-textured surface: Not just roughed up, the surface will hold stains and paints up to twice as long as many smooth surfaces.

Has exceptional thickness:

Manufactured with a hefty overall butt thickness, the exposed portion of the rabbeted butt is s/e"- much thicker than that of the traditional rabbeted sidings. Knots remain in place better than in thinner sidings.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

For sheathing use fiberboard, plywood, or lumber, etc. Rigid foam plastic sheathing can cause misoerformance of wood sidings. Until the problems are solved, we have to recommend our siding not be applied over rigid foam plastic sheathing.

Use only corrosion-resistant nails to avoid staining of the wood: top quality hotdipped or hot-tumbled galvanized, or stainless steel nails. Nails must penetrate 1t/2" inlo studs or 172" combination of wood sheathing and studs. lf sheathing is not solid wood, use long enough nails to penetrate studs'l%".

Spacing of 1/e" for expansion clearance

FINISH ING RECOMMENDATIONS:

Palco's Rustic Redwood can be finished with a variety ol appearances.

1. Stains: Oil-base semi-transparent stains, very popular, 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.

2. 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.

3. Water-Repellents: A non-pigmented water-repellent coating will minimize the darkening. The surface will become a buckskin tan. lf reapplied, water-repellent can keep the buckskin color; if not, driftwood gray will be reached in time.

4. Do not use shake and shingle paints, low lustre alkyd paints, or varnishes.
