Spruce is an ideal species for exterior cladding, offering all the character of wood at an affordable price, as well as a wide range of board widths and lengths. Cedar has the advantage of being rot-proof, insect-proof and very stable. Their natural color is unique and contains many shades of color. White cedar is more uniform, so it's used with both opaque and semi-transparent finishes, while red cedar (more tannic and nuanced) is more suitable for semi-transparent staining, which highlights it more. White cedar is often chosen for ecological projects and contributes to LEED certification, since it is sourced locally. However, its planks are shorter and narrower, given the tree's natural characteristics. ##### Can I customize my color? You can have any color applied to your siding. Whether it's a reference from a major company (Gentek, Sico, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, etc.) with the same type of finish (semi-transparent or opaque) or a new color to develop, there are no limits. Our team will send you a sample of the siding covered with your custom finish so that you can see and approve the final result before your order goes into production. ##### Can I have a product custom-made? In addition to color customization, SIDEX offers you the possibility of having a 100% customized product made to your specifications: species, dimensions, profile, length, we can make anything to order (minimum quantities may be required). ##### How to choose real wood siding? Choosing an exterior siding can seem complicated when you're not familiar with the subject. That's why the SIDEX team wanted to make it simple! Only 5 steps are required to choose your siding: 1. Choice of **species** 2. Choice of **model** 3. Choice of **texture** 4. Choice of **finish** 5. Choice of **color** It's as simple as that! What's more, with the help of our representatives and advisors, you can rest assured that you'll be accompanied every step of the way. ##### Do all your products have a tongue and groove at the ends of the boards (4-sided tongue and groove)? As we are known for our higher length ratios, we have chosen to leave this specification optional. ##### Do you offer maintenance-free products? No product or material exposed to the elements is truly maintenance-free. For example, even your car, which is made of plastic and metal, requires regular maintenance and cleaning to ensure its longevity. The advantage of wood siding is that it's easy to maintain, unlike some synthetic materials, which have to be replaced when damaged. Consult the wood siding maintenance chart prepared by the experts at SIDEX. However, some finishes require less maintenance than others. See our maintenance-free siding page for product details. For more information on the benefits of wood siding, see our article on the subject. Let's get startedTogether, we'll make the perfect team to create the project of your dreams.
