We get asked all the time – what can EverLog siding be attached to?
Some of the many questions about concrete log siding are what it can be attached to, whether it needs to be a new build or can be installed on a preexisting home, and how the concrete siding is attached. Luckily, we are here with all the answers on how to install your Everlogs concrete log siding best.
What can Everlog Siding be attached to?
Everlogs siding can be attached to almost any surface on which homes are built. The most common surfaces we work with are traditional 2x wood/steel framing, SIP panels, and ICFs. Each type of surface is the most commonly used in home building, so it is easy to add our log siding to any project. Our simulated log siding is ultra-lightweight, so it does not structurally affect the wall it is being attached to. Depending on the profile, a standard 12′ siding panel weighs approximately 42-55 pounds. While very light, we recommend two people lift and apply EverLog Siding. Please consult the siding “Siding Installation Guide” for additional details.
How are Everlogs Concrete Siding panels attached?
Everlogs concrete siding can be attached to any structure, whether a home with pre-existing siding or a new build. We recommend preparing your home before adding our concrete siding. This can include state codes and regulations, particularly the requirements and proper use of weather-resistant barriers, building wraps, vapor barriers, rain screens, etc. When your home is ready for concrete log siding, you or your contractor will use screws to attach the corner posts and siding panels. Once the siding is up, caulking and chinking (optional) will ensure a solid seal around the home.
EverLog Siding solves the traditional issues associated with wood log siding. Our patented log siding design combines an amazingly realistic log-looking exterior with worry-free, high-strength, and easy-to-install log siding.
