Bevel
- Overview
Western
Red Cedar bevel siding is the most widely-used
siding type. It is produced by resawing lumber
at an angle to produce two pieces thicker
on one edge than the other. The manufacturing
process results in pieces with one face saw
textured. The other face is smooth or saw
textured depending on the grade and customer
preference. Bevel
siding is installed horizontally and gives
an attractive shadow line which varies with
the thickness of siding selected.
Bevel siding is available in clear and
knotty grades. Clear
siding gives premium quality appearance
and is ideal for prestigious, upmarket applications.
Knotty
siding has warmth and casual charm and
is ideal for homes, cottages, club-houses
and applications where a rustic appearance
is desired.
WRCLA members also produce finger-joined
bevel siding in clear and knotty grades.
The precision-fitted joins are virtually
invisible and stronger than the surrounding
fiber. Finger-joined bevel siding is available
in lengths up to 16 feet and provides the
handsome appearance and all-weather performance
of premium cedar siding. Builders appreciate
both the convenient long length tally and
the speed and ease of installation with
fewer field joins.
