EtJEhoRodt$tXgFfessmml$ltylorndo&btunbtDdlot lf,rOOD, because of its general abunlldance, versatility, natural wamrth and beauty, has been used extensively in North America since the beginning of set0ements by the Euopeans. It is particularly suited for exterior siding and provides an economical and renewable building material that when finished properly provides years of care-free consumer satisfaction.
Natural wood siding also has the ability to take and bold a variety of coatings (stains and paints) and, unlike many other siding alternatives, can be refinished at a later date with different colors and excellent results.
Retailers, builders, architects and consumers can ensure the full benefits of wood siding as well as a maintenance-free finish by conholling the following: l. Pre-Weathering - Protection from Mother Nature's elements before the siding is coated. Studies by the US Forest Service and US Department of Agriculture show even a weathering of four weeks can decrease the life of your coating by 50Vo.
2. Moisture Control - Essential for determining the service life of botb wood and coating. Proper building and installation metbods as well as ensuring the wood is dry before coating are the secrets to conbolling moisture and long product life.
3. The Coating Process - The best application of stain or paint ensures a dirt and contaminant-free surface coated on all sides with the proper film thickness. Proper drying and curing are essential for maximum service life,
A rapidly growing number of builders, architects and homeowners are now prefinishing their siding before it arrives at tbe job site. In addition to being able to control the above variables, they save considerable time, dollars, construction delays and clean-up headaches... in essence, theyle finished before they start!
OLYMPIC Stains/PPG Industries is tbe pioneer in pre-finished siding material and has been providing a consistent quality prccess and product through a network of authorized operators for over 30 years. According to Steve Wright, professional stain and coating manager for OLYMPIC, "We understand the importance of providing a quality finished product to the consumer. Our factory finished process througb authorized OLYMPIC operators ensur€s the wood is protected from weathering, dried to the proper moisture content and coated to exact specifications before it ever leaves the factory."
Wright goes on to stat€, "You wouldn't expect to buy an unprimed, unpainted car from the manufacturer, take it home letting the dust and dirt settle on it and then spray paint it in your yard. Your home represents a much larger investment than your car and factory priming and finishing ensures you will receive the best protection available for your home as well as your investment."
