Grooved Plywood Siding
for those
off the wall patterns!
Are you
trying to match plywood siding on your home?
Many homes
today have grooved plywood siding that is no longer produced. We specialize
in matching these discontinued patterns. We custom groove plywood siding. The problem is that these patterns
have unique designs that are difficult to match. Both the size of the groove
and the spacing between the grooves are what make each one unique.
As a homeowner,
contractor, or architect, conducting a remodel or replacing dry rot, having
plywood siding that matches your original pattern is crucial to a successful
project. That's where we come in.
We have the ability
to duplicate many of the old grooved plywood patterns. The common patterns
today are 4" on center and 8" on center with a 3/8" groove width. These
patterns are available in local lumber yards, but many other patterns are
not available. If you own an Eichler Home please click
here and for our Eichler Siding Web-site.
We Can Ship Standard
Patterns as Well
We have learned
over the years that in some areas of the United States, certain standard
plywood groove patterns are not available like they are on the west coast (we are
located in Northern California).
Click here for more information on
standard patterns. Many lumber yards and plywood supply houses are
unable or unwilling to ship plywood in relatively small quantities.
But we do!
We've Got Solutions for Those Hard
to Find Patterns
If you are looking for a pattern with a groove 6" on center, or 2" on
center, we can provide these hard to find examples. We can also vary the
width of the groove itself, making it as narrow as 1/8" or as wide as 1".
Another pattern we make is a repeating
pattern of 4" on center, 4" on
center, 12" on center, followed by another 4" on center groove.
We can also create
other custom grooved patterns. Just give us a call and we will be happy to
let you know if we can help. We accept orders as small as one sheet up to
100 or more.
We
also have a very unique pattern called
Plank-Tex (or Planktex). Plank-Tex was manufactured by U.S.
Plywood from the 50's through the 70's. The unique aspect of this design is
that it has a texture cut into the plywood that is a circular sawn pattern
(or swirl pattern) along with an 8" on center groove. Plank-Tex, when
nailed up, appears to be 8" boards run through a buzz saw, hiding the fact
that it is actually a grooved plywood siding. It really looks good!
We've Been
Doing this for a While
Over
eighteen years ago Jeff Nichols was asked by a homeowner if he could replace
some of the grooved plywood siding on a remodel job. He took the
measurements and went down to the local lumber yard. It was then that he
discovered what many homeowners and contractors had already learned, that
the siding was no longer available.
Undaunted, he decided to hand mill the sheets himself. Needless to say, it
took considerable time to mill the seven sheets required. However, the
proverbial wheels started to turn. Within a few weeks, he realized that he
could help others with the same problem. Since then, we have expanded our
line of patterns and continually match new ones.
Do it Right the First Time
Using our
siding will preserve the value of your home. Real Estate agents tell us that
mismatched siding results in a loss of resale value. We have seen all kinds
of temporary fixes from siding that does not match. In the long run, we have
found that you will be much happier spending the time and effort required to
use the correct siding that matches, rather than taking a short cut you’ll
regret later. |
