Western Red Cedar EXT Siding

The entry porch uses Western Red Cedar siding installed using a rain screen technique. This technique allows for full ventilation behind the siding from top to bottom which prevents rot, mold and mildew from occurring. Forethought is necessary to properly employ this technique and proper flashing around all openings is paramount. This siding looks as good as the interior ceiling and creates a durable surface and attractive appearance. The remaining siding uses this technique also with the exception of the sun porch.
