Commercial Multiplex with a contemporary look

Commercial Multiplex with a contemporary look

Where: Montana

What:  Multi-Family complex

Product:  AquaFir product line in douglas fir with wire brush texture and 1×6 shiplap profile using Natural color.  To view all the colors and textures available in AquaFir go to:  http://www.montanatimberproducts.com/products/siding/aquafir-siding/

Product Use:   Horizontal shiplap siding application with wire brush texture lends itself to a modern look.  The contemporary asymmetrical roof line adds variation to the style for the multiplex.  This roof line is also practical for snow run off in the Montana winter.  Choosing to use black trimmed:  windows, lighting fixtures, and roofing accents keep the sleek contemporary style very clean.  The green doors add that pop of color adding to the contemporary architecture.

This close up demonstrates the nice protection shiplap profiling provides.  A tight seal with a natural look.  The ease of installation makes this profile one of the most popular and can be installed vertically or horizontally, shown here.

The fence used the shiplap profile with wire brush texture, like the body of the multiplex.  Using shiplap horizontally instead of a square edge material, kept the contemporary sleek look.  The wood is sealed on all sides with Seal Once product.  Staining and sealing in a controlled environment help to insure the wood is preserved and protected from water.  Sealing after the installation does not allow for the protection of sealing all sides of the boards in a controlled environment.
