Advantages of Utilizing Prefinished Exterior Wood Siding Materials

Prefinished wood cladding, also known as machine-finished or factory-finished is simply any type of siding that is pre-coated or finished to a certain specification by a manufacturer prior to it being installed at a job site.

Even for the most experienced painter, it can be difficult to avoid minor on-site mishaps like oversprays, streaks, drips, job site dirt pick-up, or lap marks. Utilizing prefinished wood products provides several advantages over site finishing. When factory-finished exterior wood cladding products are specified, it expedites field time and provides a consistent, fully vetted, quality-controlled product that can be installed year-round.

Amagansett Beach House

Situated right on the water in Amagansett, New York, sits a 5,280 sq. ft. picturesque home. This project was coined the Bow Tie House due to its architecture – the floor plan is pinched in the middle and flares out at either end, with a central chimney that anchors the colliding geometries. The residence offers six bedrooms and seven full bathrooms on a half-acre of land and was featured on Netflix’s Million Dollar Beach House. The property features visual contrasts in the most aesthetically pleasing way. The light and dark wood variations are further enhanced with contrasting vertical and horizontal cladding. reSAWN provided Custom Western Red Cedar and PACKARD Charred Western Red Cedar exterior cladding for this project.

reSAWN offers several sustainable, durable options for real wood exterior decking.

The exterior entertaining space includes stadium-style stairs overlooking the lawn, and a covered barbecue area. The deck needed to be substantial since the summer months are largely spent outdoors. Abodo® Vulcan Decking finished with Clear Protector Oil provides a low-maintenance finish that will silver off as it weathers to provide the longest possible life between maintenance cycles. Plus, it’s made using a waterborne formulation, which means it is safe on bare feet and won’t leach chemicals into the environment.
