Pro tips for dense hardwoods
- Ensure all tropical hardwood siding is acclimated to the local humidity for at least 7 to 14 days prior to installation to minimize post-install shrinkage or expansion.
- End-seal all cut grain on siding boards with a wax-based sealer immediately after cutting to prevent checking and end-splitting.
- Verify that your wood battens are perfectly plumb and level before starting the first course, as the clip system relies on the precision of the underlying structure for a uniform finish.
- Apply a UV-protective hardwood oil to all four sides of the boards, including the grooves, before clicking them into place to ensure moisture stability.
