Siding Types - Tongue & Groove
- Overview
Western Red Cedar tongue and groove is widely used for
its good looks and versatility. It can be installed horizontally,
vertically or diagonally, each method giving a distinctly
different look. Tongue and groove siding is available
with rough or smooth faces. Both seasoned (kiln-dried)
and unseasoned (green) sidings are available.
The joints between adjoining pieces are usually v-shaped
but flush jointed, reveal and radius joints are also
available. The different joints and surface textures
in tongue and groove siding combine to provide a range
of shadow line effects that enhance the product's versatility.
Tongue and groove siding is manufactured in clear grades
suitable for a more formal, elegant appearance, particularly
when pieces are smooth faced. Knotty grades are in demand
for their smart, casual look.
