Installation Guidelines

Proper installation is critical to the performance of natural wood products. Following industry best practices helps secure materials correctly, reduce movement, and ensure long-term durability. Careful planning and execution create a stable, lasting result.

Disclaimer: The provided documents serve as general best practices. Because climates and job site conditions vary widely, contractors must use their industry best regional knowledge and experience to dictate a professional installation tailored to their specific environment.

Maintenance Guidelines

Exposure to sunlight and moisture naturally weathers wood, leading to gradual shifts in color and surface appearance. Routine cleaning and periodic finish reapplication are essential to preserve the material’s original look, performance, and longevity. Ultimately, maintenance frequency will vary based on climate exposure, surface orientation, and your personal aesthetic preferences.

Contact Logistics Team

Preparing to Receive Direct to Jobsite Shipment

DELIVERY & OFFLOADING

Materials are shipped via flatbed or LTL carriers. Ensure the jobsite can accommodate delivery access and staging. Units may be up to 48″ wide and 20′ long, with bundle weights exceeding 4,000 lbs. A forklift or appropriate equipment is required for offloading.

INSPECTION AT DELIVERY

Inspect all materials upon delivery. Note any visible damage on the Bill of Lading prior to signing and notify our team promptly. Report any defects before installation, as installation constitutes acceptance.

ON-SITE STORAGE

Protect materials from direct sunlight, moisture, debris, and construction activity. Store units flat, elevated off the ground, and covered to shed water while allowing airflow. Avoid fully sealing bundles, and store undercover when possible.

HANDLING

Lift materials rather than dragging to prevent surface damage. Take care to protect edges and factory finishes during handling and movement on-site.

Pricing

Base pricing for profiled prefinished material starts at ~$5.75 per board foot. Final pricing will vary based on species, product line, profile, and project-specific requirements. To simplify the planning process, your local representative is always available to help translate board foot estimates into exact square footage coverage to meet your specific design requirements.

Custom Take-Offs

We provide complimentary take-offs and material estimates based on digital plans to support your early planning and budgeting. These include color-coded elevations to help clearly visualize material coverage and layout.

Disclaimer: Our estimates are intended as a helpful planning tool and must be reviewed against your own on-site project take-offs prior to finalizing an order. Final material quantities are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
