Love the way it looks! I thought it was Yakisugi (shou sugi ban) - which is the route *I* took for maintenance-free siding. I love that even more because it doesn’t require the use of any products that could interfere with it naturally breaking down and turning back to earth, when its time is done (~100 years from now). Thanks to @Nakamoto !! 💜🙌🏼
Great video! I’m planning a mid-century home in Austin with lots of vertical open joint cladding. Could you update us on how the siding is holding up and any color changes? Do you still expect it to be maintenance-free (no re-coating for over 10 years)? I thought composite was the only truly maintenance-free option, but this looks interesting. Thank-you.
A few of the high exposure areas are becoming slightly more silver than chocolaty brown, but the slightly hombre look makes visual sense & provides a sense of authenticity to the material pallet. In areas with overhangs the siding color is unchanged & looks like it will last forever that way. Durability wise, everything has held up perfectly.
Thanks Daniel, was so much work to figure out & execute on site, but at the same time wasn’t all that stressful because all the additives are just penetrating vs. topical. So happy to share the process with others!
SO- I’ve been trying to figure out what I should use to protect my solid fir front door (can’t have a screen door in front of it, because it’s an outswing) - and I’ve been wanting to use a product that was natural, and that I would not have to reapply regularly over the years. * What do you think? * 🙉 could this be my answer? Is there any reason why it would not be a good idea to use this, these products in combination exactly like you did here, on a solid wood Exterior door? 🤔 And is there really no maintenance required, there after? For many years? I’m so intrigued now!
BTW- we did plane down the battens (the skinny inset siding pieces) to closer to a 1/2” (not the 3/4” mentioned in the video). We did this to keep the siding make-up from being too thick.
I would throw the whole thing on steel hat channel on shims just as a means of making it demountable without yanking nails but obviously you were out of space and not trying to create a services cavity etc. - is this your own place or do you just have the world’s coolest client?
Cool stuff, kind of can’t believe you didn’t tarp the TPO before spraying the planks but other than that super cool. What sort of man hours went into this overall?
looks nice, ive been building for 40 years here in southeast alaska, wettest place in the US. 165 inches a year with 100 mph driving rain storms in the winter. the longest lasting siding that works the best here is clear local red cedar painted with pittsburg water base paints. there are still homes with this going on 60 years...pittsburg paints are the best...
@@kimstocks4485What’s the exact name of the Pittsburg paint you’re using in Alaska? There’s a lot of variety with Exterior Paint by Pittsburg. There’s 5 of them. Pittsburg FASTDRY, Pittsburg Paramount Paint & Primer In One, Pittsburg Grand Distinction Exterior Paint & Primer,Pittburg Ultra Exterior Paint & Primer, Pittsburg Lucite Exterior 100% Acrylic Latex. Which one of this?

Thanks for sharing. I look forward to experimenting with this technique!
Beautiful. Pro work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful! I mean seriously, that looks so good! Great job, dude.

That vertical orientation is slick.
Thanks G!

Try it on a small piece of fir first and let it change colors in the sun & see if you like it.

Looks awesome! Seems super labor intensive- I’m curious how the pricing is on that. Couldn’t you just do your 4-5 coats before you hung it all?
The follow up coats allowed us to make cuts specific to layout per wall section and still be able to have the cuts uniform & treated
Looks fantastic
🙏🏽

We covered the TPO with pebbles after. Not sure on the man hours but will tally nexttime

Is it the local cedar or the Pittsburgh Paints?
@@DesignBuildDoug mostly the paint

But is it nontoxic, and low or no VOCs? I wonder.
Check out Doug, upping the production values! Nice work 👍
