Forgotten Flare

When planning your dream home, it may seem that the list of design decisions is endless. The process tends to begin with bigger concepts, like cape versus chalet, and funnels down to the finer details, such as faucet style and finish. In between, decisions have been made on timber joist style, shingle color and lighting placement. What do all of these decisions have in common? They are all about integral parts of a home. The project can not proceed without someone asking these questions. When planning your home, don't forget the design decisions which are not required parts of the structure.
Gables trusses, window trim, stepped overhangs, timber purlins and over-sized fascia are just a few examples of the details which will give your home architectural flare. Talk with your sales consultant about including design elements which will set your dream home apart.

DeckWood Facts & Care

Outdoor living areas have increasingly become popular for barbecuing, entertaining or simply for relaxing and enjoying nature. Because of the amount of time spent on decks and porches, consumers are demanding higher quality building products for these areas. Beaver Mountain has a reputation for supplying high quality materials, and our exterior decking is no exception.

DeckWood is a hand-selected clear grade of southern yellow pine without knots or wane. The top edges of the 2x6 lumber is rounded for a distinctive look and the underside is milled with double grooves to reduce the tendency of decking to cup. DeckWood is pressure-treated with Wolman preservative and is therefore backed by both the Wolmanized wood lifetime limited warranty against termites and fungal decay and also by the Good Housekeeping Seal.

Beaver Mountain provides screws for DeckWood installation which must be predrilled for the best result. According to Arch Treatment Technologies, manufacturer of Wolman preservative, an effective brand of water repellent should be applied to the decking as soon as the project is finished or, for large projects, as sections are completed. Water repellent should be re-applied every year or two and deck brightener can be used to clean wood which has a dingy appearance caused by dirt, mildew and mold.

WOODguard Preservative

One of the products available from Beaver Mountain for staining your log home is the oil based preservative WOODguard.
Available in a number of colors, WOODguard is a highly durable, transparent stain designed for log homes and siding. Several ultra violet blocking pigments work to protect the finish from damaging UV rays. The oil based formula provides long-term protection and water repellency by penetrating deeply into the wood. WOODguard utilizes an active ingredient known as Copper 8-Quinolinolate which acts to control mold, decay, termites and anobiid powderpost beetles.
Application should take place only if overnight low temperatures are above 50 degrees F and daytime high temperatures do not exceed 95 degrees F. WOODguard is easily applied by sprayer, brush or roller. See manufacturer's instructions for specific preparation and application directions.
