Options-Styles
Terminal Forest Products offers a diverse range of wood siding and exterior trim options, focusing on quality and natural beauty. Their products are designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal and durability of any exterior project.
The primary materials used are high-quality woods, chosen for their strength, natural resistance to decay and insects, and their ability to accept stains and finishes. This ensures a long-lasting and attractive exterior for homes and buildings.
Style Options
- Bevel Siding: This is a classic and popular choice, characterized by its overlapping horizontal boards. The top edge of each board is thicker than the bottom, creating a shadow line that adds depth and dimension. Available in various wood species.
- Tongue and Groove Siding: This style features interlocking boards where the tongue of one board fits into the groove of the next. This creates a tight seal and a smooth, continuous surface. It can be installed horizontally or vertically and offers a clean, modern or rustic look depending on the wood and finish.
- Board and Batten: A traditional style that uses wide vertical boards with narrower strips (battens) placed over the seams. This creates a distinctive, strong visual line and is often associated with barn-style or country architecture.
- Shake and Shingle Siding: Offering a more rustic and natural appearance, shakes and shingles are individual pieces of wood that can create a unique textured look. Shingles are typically sawn smooth, while shakes are hand-split, offering a rougher, more artisanal feel.
Wood Species and Options
Terminal Forest Products likely offers a selection of wood species, each with its own unique characteristics, grain patterns, and natural durability. While specific species are not detailed, common options in the industry known for siding include:
- Cedar: Known for its natural beauty, light weight, and excellent resistance to decay and insects. It takes stains and finishes very well.
- Fir: A strong and readily available wood that offers good stability and can be finished to achieve various looks.
- Pine: A more economical option, pine can be a good choice when properly treated and finished, offering a warm, natural appearance.
Exterior Trim
Complementing their siding, Terminal Forest Products provides exterior trim to complete the look of a building. This includes:
- Corner Trim: Used to cover the vertical joints where siding panels meet at corners, providing a clean, finished edge.
- Window and Door Trim: Frames windows and doors, adding architectural detail and a visual transition between the siding and openings.
- Fascia and Soffit: Fascia boards are installed along the roofline to cover the ends of rafters, while soffits create a finished underside to the roof overhangs.
All products are intended for exterior applications and are manufactured with considerations for weather resistance and longevity. The natural grain and texture of the wood provide a timeless and appealing finish that can be customized with a variety of stains, paints, or natural sealants to match any design aesthetic.
