Cypress nickel gap siding: Available in 4, 5, 6 and 8" widths. s4s trim boards available in 4" widths.
About
Cypress tends to be a light yellow-brown color. The sapwood is nearly white. The grain is straight and is available in two grades; Select, which is almost clear, and #2 Common which contains variable tight knots.
Cypress is naturally rot and water resistant. Cypress wood is stable and reasonably strong for its density, with a Janka rating of 510 lbf (pound-force). The Janka hardness rating comes from a test that measures the density of wood species. For context, western red cedar has a Janka rating of 350 lbf. This means it is unlikely to cup, twist or bow.
Cypress lumber is commonly used to make decks, siding and many types of outdoor furniture and garden structures.
Due to its light color, straight lines and stability cypress is ideal for staining and painting. If left untreated, however, cypress lumber fades to a silvery grey color within a few years.
Our cypress is sustainably harvested in North Carolina and processed at a family owned mill 40 miles away. From there it is transported to Maine.
Total travel distance: Land to mill to Lumbery is 830 miles.
Cypress, due to its incredible ability to store vast amounts of carbon is considered to be a carbon-neutral material.
