Huston Lumber carries siding that can be applied either vertically or horizontally, depending on your design and the desired effect of the siding.
Fiber-cement siding composition may vary from company to company, but the basic recipe is Portland cement, sand, and cellulose (wood) fibers. Wood fiber helps prevent cracking, as does a special curing process that leaves fiber cement with a low moisture content
Huston Lumber stocks cedar clapboards, or bevel siding, that are premium grade. In addition to different lengths, widths of 6 in. to 12 in. are available to create different exposures. The narrower exposures have a more traditional look, while wider widths lend more of a contemporary appearance.
Installed vertically on the side of the house, V-Joint siding boards lock into their neighbors with a tongue and groove joint for a positive and stable joint. Huston Lumber stocks both pine and cedar boards in a variety of grades. The more knotty grades lend a more rustic look to the siding.
Cedar shingles are the most common siding in the northeastern United States. Huston lumber stocks premium grade number one shingles in both red and white cedar in sizes from 16 in. to 24 in. Additionally some sizes are available as R&R (Rebutted and Rejoined).
