Nothing Beats the Traditional Beauty of Wood

Wood is a longstanding favorite choice for siding. Wood siding has been used on houses for hundreds of years, and is one of the more attractive high-end siding options.

Wood siding has a large variety of styles and finishes – whether it is vertical siding like board and batten, or horizontal siding like clapboards, shakes and shingles. Wood siding comes in a number of different wood varieties, including pine, spruce and fir; cedar and redwood are excellent, top-quality materials.

A good rule of thumb is to buy the best grade of wood siding you can afford. The best wood siding has vertical grain orientation, while less expensive wood sidings will have flat grain. The vertical grain wood siding is more stable and the grain will not raise on the flat surface that you see once it is installed.

Engineered wood siding is an eco-improvement on traditional siding, as it makes the most of natural resources. If you want the best exterior wood siding, look for wood that contains natural preservatives and has vertical grain. Western cedar and redwood make for great wood siding, and both have a considerable amount of natural preservatives.
