Construction and Materials
Arbor Wood Co. offers a premium selection of wood siding and exterior trim products designed to enhance the beauty and durability of any building. Their commitment to quality is evident in the meticulous selection of materials and sophisticated construction techniques. Arbor Wood Co. primarily utilizes kiln-dried lumber, a critical step that significantly reduces moisture content, thereby minimizing shrinkage, warping, and cracking once installed. This controlled drying process ensures greater stability and longevity for their products.
The specific wood species offered by Arbor Wood Co. are chosen for their inherent strength, beauty, and resistance to decay and insects. While the exact species can vary based on product lines and availability, common high-quality hardwoods and softwoods are typically employed. These include, but are not limited to:
- Cedar: Renowned for its natural beauty, distinctive aroma, and excellent resistance to decay and insects. Cedar is lightweight, dimensionally stable, and holds finishes exceptionally well.
- Redwood: Similar to cedar, redwood offers outstanding natural durability and a rich, warm color. It is naturally resistant to moisture and insect damage.
- Other Hardwoods and Softwoods: Depending on the application and aesthetic desired, Arbor Wood Co. may also utilize other premium wood species, selected for their unique grain patterns, strength, and suitability for exterior applications.
The construction of Arbor Wood Co. siding and trim focuses on providing a robust and aesthetically pleasing exterior finish. The manufacturing process often involves precise milling to ensure consistent dimensions and clean edges, which is crucial for a seamless installation and a professional appearance. The profiles of their siding products are designed to overlap effectively, creating a water-shedding barrier that protects the underlying structure from the elements. This attention to detail in the milling and profile design contributes significantly to the product's performance and ease of installation.

This allows architects, builders, and homeowners to customize the look of their exterior to perfectly complement their design vision.
