Solution: Wire Brushed Shiplap Natural Wood Siding

Product: AquaFir™ Shale Natural Wood Siding

Telluride, Colorado- originally founded as a mining town in 1875 named Columbia, but confused with a California town by the same name, was renamed Telluride in 1887 after the gold telluride minerals found in other parts of Colorado. This old, beautiful mining town with some of the most rugged terrain and weather in the Western United States is a classic example of the fearlessness and drive of the Western pioneers. Honoring its Western heritage and natural beauty, much of the new construction in Colorado has called on Montana Timber Products’ various rustic natural wood siding solutions. This build utilizes a combination of stone, made-to-rust steel, and AquaFir™, Wire Brushed, Shiplap natural wood siding; all in a varying degree of earth tones to blend with the natural landscape.

Authentic Reclaimed Corral Board

Where: Minnesota

What: Upycycled shipping container homes with rustic reclaimed Corral Board siding.

Solution: Mixed texture Band Sawn and Circle Sawn Square Edge Corral Board, reclaimed barn wood with authentic fastener Holes and bands of moss.

Product: Corral Board Silver Patina Authentic Reclaimed Barn Wood

This week’s featured project takes us to Minnesota, one of the spectacular beauties of the Midwest. In recent years there has been a trend of upcycling used shipping containers as space efficient homes. The surplus of imports over exports utilizing shipping containers in the United States has caused a surplus in empty shipping containers. Surprisingly, the cost and environmental impact of shipping these empty shipping containers back over seas outweighs the production of new ones. Innovative people are upcycling these surplus, structurally sound shipping containers into alternative, sustainable, space efficient homes. The idea of upcycling is based on the principle of utilizing available non-virgin materials. The use of authentic reclaimed barn wood lives on the same principle of upcycling available materials before creating new ones. Montana Timber Products’ Corral Board authentic reclaimed barn wood is a great way to bring a piece of Western history to your home while lending a helping hand to Mother Nature.

The homeowners and designers created a very welcoming entryway by utilizing Charwood™ ceiling paneling as well as a traditional sliding door. The ceiling paneling features a Tongue and Groove profile allowing the fasteners to be concealed for a clean finish. The white walls, a theme throughout most of the home, creates a strong contrast with the Charwood™, resulting in a beautiful clash between modern and traditional design.

In addition to the aesthetic beauty of Charwood™, the physical attributes make it an incredible product. When wood is charred, a chemical change called pyrolysis occurs. Pyrolysis is the irreversible depletion of organic material in wood. This means that the wood has lost much of its ability to ignite and burn, giving it a very high level of chemical free, natural fire retardant.
