Cypress.
Beautiful inside.
Durable outside.
Remarkably distinctive.Cypress is superbly workable, easily installed and readily finished. It makes a unique statement about each environment it distinguishes, residential or
commercial.
Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) grows in the swampy areas of the Southeastern United States - from the Carolinas into Texas. Careful forestry management ensures that this cypress resource will be continuously renewed.
It is said that the oldest living thing on earth is a cypress tree at Rio del Tulle, Mexico, estimated to be 5,000 to 7,000 years old. With beauty and versatility, cypress today keeps on giving a spirit of life wherever it is used.
Speaking of cypress' durability, on the lighter side we have cited the following from the June, 1996 Reader's Digest....."In a book entitled The Woodwright's Companion, Exploring Traditional Woodcraft by Roy Underhill : ' The bald cypress
(taxodium distichum) is valuable for construction in high humidity locations. A coffin made from this wood will last a lifetime.'"
Cypress. The distinction you deserve.

Cypress' longevity is well documented. Given a suitable surface treatment, today's cypress has excellent durability - generally superior compared to
other types of wood siding. It holds paint well and is in the group of woods offering the highest resistance to the elements, according to the U.S.D.A.'s Wood as an Engineering Material.
Our kiln dried cypress siding is available in either No.2
Common & Better or Select & Better Grade, in these dimensions:
- 5/8" or 3/4" x 6" or 8" Bevel
- ¾" x 6" or 8" Rabbeted Bevel
- 3/4" x 8" Channel Rustic
Application of Stain: Cypress siding takes stains very well, however, semi-transparent stains do not last as long as paint systems. Most semi-transparent stains will provide for 18 to 24 months depending on weather conditions.
Reapply stains, and quality, clear, water-repellent preservatives at regular intervals.

the group of woods offering the highest resistance to the elements.
