2x8 Spruce “D” Log Siding Preparation Information:
Our Kiln Dried 2x8 Spruce “D” Log Siding is ready for installation once received on your jobsite. However, wood will shrink and swell with changes in moisture content and weather. To minimize dimensional change after installation, install siding at a moisture content that matches with local climate as closely as possible. If climate in a particular region causes wood to maintain 8% to 13% moisture content annually, then the most ideal siding would be installed at a moisture content within that range, and the material would be stored, stickered and protected for a week to ten days prior to application.
2x8 Spruce “D” Log Siding Storage Prior To Application:
Until installed, all log siding needs protection from direct sunlight, water saturation, snow, ice, dirt, and other elements. It is best to store the siding flat and off the ground with a vapor barrier so that moisture is not absorbed through the bottom boards of the stack. The siding should be protected with a waterproof covering elevated in the center so that water does not pool on the cover. We also recommend that you do not completely seal the bundle, as good air circulation is required to prevent any blue stain or molding. Ideally, the siding should be stored in an enclosed building such as a garage prior to use.
2x8 Spruce “D” Log Siding Maintenance:
As with every unfinished exterior wood, applying a quality finish to all surfaces (including the ends) is recommended. An exterior finish protects the wood from moisture absorption and UV degradation, and helps prevent staining caused by mold and mildew. On occasion, the siding may have a mill glaze that is produced when the material is manufactured through the planer. When mill glaze occurs, it is recommended to remove it by pressure washing the wood or sanding prior to staining. Sanding is not recommended as a first option unless every piece is sanded. We offer a wide selection of Oil and Water Based exterior finishes that we can recommend based on the final finish, maintenance schedule and look that is desired. Most translucent exterior finishes will need to be re-coated or reapplied every 3 -5 years depending on the product and your home's UV exposure. You can find all of the exterior stain products that we carry at our Exterior Stains page.
Product Questions
-
what type of wall can this be applied to plywood or osb, will it work over foam insulation as well? I have a 1850 square foot mobile home looking to replace siding.
2x8 Spruce siding will work well over plywood, osb, and foam. No matter which material you use, you'll need to ensure that you fasten it to a sturdy backer. For the plywood and osb, I would fasten the siding through the sheathing at the studs. For foam insulation backing, you would need to first install vertical furring strips aligned with the studs, then fasten the siding onto the furring strips.
