In the world of siding, engineered wood is in a class of its own. It is not a coincidence that it has been gaining traction across America. More and more homeowners throughout the country are realizing that most siding options on the market can’t match the benefits this composite material brings to the table.

Realistic Wood-Like Appearance

Most siding materials mimic the aesthetics of lumber, but engineered wood is the best in the business. It is unequaled in this department for it is not trying to be like wood. It is actually wood fused with other ingredients to dampen the lumber’s inherent weaknesses while maintaining the texture of classic cedar shakes.

Delightful Versatility

Like authentic timber, engineered wood can be painted with any conceivable color. Since it is manufactured in a controlled environment, this composite material does a better job preserving its baked-on factory finish.

Reliable Durability

As far as maintenance is concerned, engineered wood may not need a lot of TLC. It is treated to resist pest invasion and fungal decay so expect it to last under ordinary conditions.

Speedy Installation

Engineered wood siding panels are light, which is why they are painless to install. Apart from dealing with the rigors of construction in less time, you could enjoy a lower cost of labor.

Unquestionable Sustainability

Most importantly, engineered wood helps conserve natural resources and minimize waste pollution. The engineered wood manufacturing process reclaims sawdust waste. The material is biodegradable so building components made of it will not pile up in landfills forever.
