One of our latest projects takes us back to Montana to the beautiful mountain town of Whitefish. This build utilizes Montana Timber Products ranchwood™ product line to create a very unique fusion between traditional mountain rustic and the southwestern stucco style one would find in Arizona and New Mexico.

The aesthetic 1×6 sheathing, 3×8 rafters, 1×6 deck railing, and Barn Series timbers all feature the rustic circle sawn texture offered in the Montana Timber Products line.

The deck railing provides a detailed perspective of the circle sawn texture, replicating primitive milling processes. The Montana Timber Products ranchwood™, AquaFir™, and  ranchwood™-weathered product lines are an excellent reclaimed barn wood alternative. Each product line offers color and texture choice, and are cut to order, resulting in a 5-10% waste factor compared to 35-40% with reclaimed.

Similar to the roof sheathing, the half inch spaced soffit pictured above contrasts nicely with the 1×8 vertical ship lap. All Montana Timber Products’ prefinished wood siding utilizes Seal-Once, a 100% NO VOC waterproofer with a 10 year limited warranty against water ingress.

Another luxury project built with Montana Timber Products…

The Owner, Architect, and Builder for this 2011 new construction project in Saddle Peak Ranch desired a wood siding material which was customizable, durable, and sustainable.  After a few sample design concepts, Montana Timber Products was able to produce the perfect color and profile selections for this home.  Here, a custom lap profile was utilized for the horizontal siding, a channel rustic profile utilized for the gables, and the trim and timbers were prefinished.

Vertical Channel Rustic and Lap Horizontal Ranchwood Siding

The contractor, Teton Heritage Builders, found our Ranchwood product cost effective and the pre-finished product proved easy for the siding contractors to install.  Here, the architect chose to integrate different color selections to offset various portions of the home.  Eastern Exposure, Tackroom, and Western Exposure were all used in different sections to break up the design.
