The Versatility of Rustic Wood Siding in Contemporary Homes

Wood-sided houses have a different aura than those built with other materials.

Most people find wood siding evokes feelings of tradition, tranquillity and harmony with nature. It oozes charm and is warmly inviting. Its rustic qualities harken back to older, simpler days.

However, these qualities are just as beautiful and beloved in contemporary homes today. Staying power like that, as well as other features like sustainability, eco-friendliness, varied textures and visual interest showcase how versatile rustic wood siding is compared to other choices like stucco and vinyl.

Wood siding choices: showcasing versatility

• Log Siding: Authentic log cabin look, rustic, durable, cheaper and easier to install than full logs. Log homes are a fast-seller on the market.
• Board & Batten:Wood battens centred over rough-sawn, vertical boards. Unique and classy in fir, pine and cedar.
• Bevel Siding: Truly rustic, rough-sawn tapered board with horizontal lines. Economical simplicity.
• Channel Siding: A vertical siding version of overlapping shiplap that is stylish in a rough or smooth finish.
• Historic Drop Siding: Perfect for updating heirloom homestead buildings.
• Wood siding products are sustainable and environmentally friendly

Each of these wood siding choices comes with its own look and feel so take your time deciding on which would bring out the specialness of your home. But consider other factors as well. For instance, log-sided homes sell quickly on the market. It’s also very important to install log siding correctly to take advantage of its unique properties. So hire experienced professionals to do the job. Additionally, it requires regular maintenance for peak protection against moisture, UV rays and insects.
