Out of so many siding materials to choose from, with new products being introduced through the years, 3D wood sidings continues to be a crowd favourite. In any siding discussion, it’s impossible not to hear cedar and redwood as one of the top choices. Nowadays, there are even more wood profiles to choose from — wood veneers, clapboards, board and batten, and shakes or shingles.

While some manufacturers would argue that wood is losing popularity because of its increasing cost and high maintenance requirement — many siding products in the market are still trying to imitate the look of real wood. What goes in your head when you think of wood? Timeless, classy, expensive, relaxing, and invigorating are some of the few things one might think of, but in the architectural world, wood is dynamic. It’s such a pity how an uninformed person could easily miss out on the vibrant and elegant ambience that wood can offer.

Let’s explore the reasons behind the enduring appeal of wood sidings:

  • There’s a wide variety of styles and types to choose from. Don’t believe the naysayers who often claim that wood rots easily. Decay resistant types like cedar and redwood have been available over the years. When it comes to styles, you can definitely pick one that will suit your home — from shingles to solid wood, machine cut shingles and shakes.
  • It’s available almost anywhere. Even from the obscure part of the planet, wood is readily available. You don’t have to look for quarries or special shops that specialise on masonry or metal works. Almost any construction supply shop carries wood in their arsenal.
  • Wood sidings are inexpensive and easy to install. You don’t need expert carpentry skills to install wood. Though hiring an installer can get the job done quickly, you can easily include wood siding installation on your weekend DIY list. Its lightweight feature also adds to the ease of installing and manoeuvring wood for interior applications.
  • Small repairs can be done without having to replace the whole surface covering. When some portions of your wall is damaged, you can reinstall new wood sidings to fix it. Saves you both time and money.
  • Interior wood veneer is the greenest choice for your home interior. The struggle to go green is becoming a more substantial aspect in property improvement. Wood is biodegradable. It doesn’t add burden to landfills and is one of the most important source of renewable energy.
  • Stain it, dye it, or wax it — the choices are endless. In terms of complementing the style of your interiors, wood is one of the most flexible. It can be treated with varnish and other chemicals for outdoor use. It can be stained to darken its colour or buff it with high gloss or matte for a more sophisticated look.
  • To protect it from insects and decay, it can be treated with a special coating and a unique finish of your choice. Varieties that are treated with flame-retardants are also available.
