Trouble-Free Siding

The lumber dealer vvho gets the reputation of selling trouble-free rvood siding is going to get his share of the builders' business-even if his price is a little higher.

Trouble-free siding begins with a range of moisture content of 9 to 14 percent for all patterns of house siding in most parts of the United States and in Canada. Nails should be hot dipped galvanized, aluminum or stainless steel.

Bevel Siding

To avoid such troubles as grain loosening, slivering, splintering, shrinking, rvarping, etc., all bevel siding shoul-d be _vertical grain only. Figure 1 illustrates vertical grain and gives reasons for its superiority.

, llalf of the pieces of flat grain or mixed grain bevel siding are likely trouble-makers. Figure 2 illuitrates flat grain and gives the reasons for this.

The use o{ rough textured sawn faces for siding is becoming widespread. Even when this is done, the vertical grain is best because it will lie flatter. llowever, when sawn face of flat grain bevel siding is turned out, equally good results will be had from the "bark" face and th-e "heart" face.

Place nails in thick butt so that thev iust miss or nick the thin edge of piece underneath.

Drop SidingRustic Siding

Although vertical grain is best in any of the siding patterns ma.de out of one-inch boards, flat grain is also very good if made right to be turned to the outside, equally good results rvill be had from the "bark" face and th-e "heart" face.

Board and Batt and Board and Board

Again vertical grain boards are best because they will lie flatter, but also again flat grain boards are fine if placed correctly. Smooth surfaced flat grain boards should be put on the wall r,vith the "bark" face to the outside. When rough textured sawn face flat grain boards are used, equally good results vvill be had from the "bark" face ancl the "heart" face when placed to the weather.

Do not place the nails on extreme edges of boards, as this. could cause splitting due to holding the siding too tight against shrinking and swelling.

Keep all sicling dry in storage and at building site.

Recommend that backs and ends of all siding be gen- erously coated with a good water-repellent preservative such as every lumber dealer should, and probably does, have in stock-unless the siding has been dipped in such a solution previously.

Following these feu' simple recommendations can mean the difference between perfectly satisfactory sicling that makes friends and customers as opposed to troublesome, expensive complaints.

(Paints and natural finishes will be discussecl in another issue.)

The important requirement for 1-inch flat grain or mixed grain siding is that the pattern face or paint face be run on the "bark" face. See Figure 3. This means that the troublesome "heart" face will be turned to the back against the wall.
