Tongue
& Groove - Overview
Western Red Cedar tongue and groove is widely
used for its good looks and versatility. It
can be installed horizontally, vertically
or diagonally, each method giving a distinctly
different look. Tongue and groove siding is
available with rough or smooth faces. Both
seasoned (kiln-dried) and unseasoned (green)
sidings are available.
The joints between adjoining pieces are
usually v-shaped but flush jointed, reveal
and radius joints are also available. The
different joints and surface textures in
tongue and groove siding combine to provide
a range of shadow line effects that enhance
the product's versatility.
Tongue and groove siding is manufactured
in clear grades suitable for a more formal,
elegant appearance, particularly when pieces
are smooth faced. Knotty grades are in demand
for their smart, casual look.
