Learn how to stop moisture from being a problem BEFORE you install wood siding.
Since the performance of wood siding can be affected by moisture, it’s important to take great care during the initial install. The whole house must be properly prepped and built to insure long-lasting service and to prevent moisture accumulation or excessive moisture fluctuation within building components that can induce checking, warping, rotting of wood and failure of the protective coating on the siding.
To prevent moisture penetration from adversely affecting the performance of wood siding:
Use dry materials during construction.
Keep in Mind Proper Ground Clearance
Seal the Wood
Using deck oil can help protect wood siding from moisture. The UV repelling attributes of hardwood deck oils can help reduce weathering. If you want to keep the lush look of the wood, simply reapply the oil to siding every other year, or as necessary. If you choose Ipe or Cumaru siding, your chances of insect penetration are diminished due to the intense density of these exotic hardwoods.
Design with Adequate Roof Overhang
Install Appropriate Flashing
