APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DINGEWOOD SIDING

SQUARE FOOTAGE

Customers should plan on ordering 10-20% more wood because wood is, by nature, imperfect.

Prefinished wood will come pre-stained, but wood planks can come with various imperfections

like splits ends. It is common that wood be trimmed on site. Rustic wood will have knots, knots

are not considered defects. See a typical large wood order below.

First, determine the amount of lumber you will need. You will need to determine the square

footage of your space by multiplying the length x width of your project, making sure to subtract

for windows and doors. Next determine how much siding to purchase. Use the charts below to

determine coverage on your Dingewood purchase.

Prefinished wood will come pre-stained, but wood planks can come with various imperfections like splits ends. It is common that wood be trimmed on site.

Remove the trim around windows and doors. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs and ceiling joists. Tongue & Groove Siding can be installed horizontally or vertically, so determine which direction you would like the wood to go. NAILS Nails should be stainless steel, high tensile strength aluminum, or galvanized. Nails should be rust proof. They should be small enough to enter the tongue without splitting the wood and small enough to not need predrilling.
PAGE 3
VERTICAL APPLICATION In vertical application, start at one corner with grooved edge toward the adjacent wall. Leave a gap .5” at each wall to allow for expansion and contraction. Use a level or plumb line to ensure that the first board is installed plumb. Siding is nailed to horizontal blocking lines installed between studs or to furring strips. (See Chart 3) As with horizontal installation, pieces up to 6 inches can be blind nailed and wider pieces should be face nailed.

FINISHES If you would like to protect your wood surface, installed wood may be top-coated with Weather Wash brand topcoats. These finishes can successfully hold the weathered look. Use White Maintenance Oil to add the look of patina. Use Clear Maintenance Oil to bring back more of the warm browns in the wood. Use Varnish topcoats for a high degree of wood protection and select the sheen you desire. Dingewood siding is compatible with paint, for a customized weathered look. www.WeatherWashCoatings.

WOOD ACCLIMATION Ø Proper acclimation of your new, pre-weathered wood is imperative. Wood is a natural product and will respond to moisture in the air. When your wood arrives, it is very important to allow your wood to acclimate to your specific region, with its unique humidity. Ø Allow wood to acclimate 5-7 days to reduce shrinking, warping and cracking. RUSTIC WOOD QUALITIES Ø Customers should plan on ordering 10-20% more wood because wood is, by nature, imperfect.
