Potlotch Inlroduces TrendTex

TrendTex, a new line of rough-textured stained sidings, is now being ofrered by Potlatch Forests, Inc.

The stain coat, formulated for a long, low-maintenance life (in deep walnut rustic brown, ranch red or weathered gray) can be factory-applied at a cost of less than 950 for a typical 30'by 40'house. In addition, a Dri-Pfi penta-prime is applied to the back of the siding for water repellancy, decay and termite resistance.

TrendTex sidings are shipped with matching color-coated nails and a stain touch-up kit.

TrendTex patterns from Potlatch are: InIand Rustic, a wide-channel, deep shadow line pattern in nominal 6, 8, 10 and l2-inch widths; High Valley, a board-and-batten pattern in 8, 10 and 12-inch widths, and Appaloosa Ranch, a Dolly Varden patter.n in 8, 10 and 12-inch widths. Popular in exterior applications, they are also being used for interior paneling entryways, foyers, and family rooms.

The rough texture, so appropriate for contemporary architectural trends, is produced by band-sawing kiln-dried S4S boards, eliminating unsightly "sticker" marks, which often discolor ordinary wood sidings. The stock is specially selected for tight knot stl.llcture,

If desired, TrendTex sidings can be ordered unstained for custom on-site finishing. The penta coat then provides protection against inclement weather until a favorable finishing time occurs.
