Example

[0051]The preferred embodiment of the wood siding system according to the present invention is described herein below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0052]Referring to FIG. 1, the overall arrangement of the preferred siding system is illustrated. The wood siding boards 20 have straight back surfaces 22 that are held in a coplanar arrangement with each other, parallel to the supporting structure 24. The wood siding boards 20 are held to the supporting structure 24 by spaced-apart metal retainers 26. The metal retainers 26 are preferably installed at intervals of 12 to 24 inches along the top edge of each wood siding board 20. A continuous length of metal retainer 26 (not shown) can also be used to support the bottom edge 28 of the lowermost wood siding board 20 on a wall.

[0053]Each wood siding board 20 has a tapering front surface 30 with a thicker lower edge. The lower edge has a shoulder 32, a slot 34 and an apron-like strip 36 formed thereon, on its front surface. The apr...

Abstract

The wood siding system has air circulation gaps between overlapping siding boards and between the siding boards and a supporting wall. The wood siding system has the appearance of old-fashion clapboards; a limited flexibility that closely imitates a solid wall, and metal retainers with installation gauge, and lips and ridges to control the direction of shrinkage and swelling of the wood boards to preserve the visual appeal of the wood siding. A wood grain pattern on the front surface of each siding board is a mirror image of a wood grain pattern on the front surface of another siding board.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 872,010, filed Aug. 30, 2013.FIELD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0002]The present invention pertains to the field of wood siding for buildings, and more particularly, it pertains to a wood siding system that has a relatively thin overlap, and ventilation gaps around every board to prevent a retention of moisture behind the wood siding boards.BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0003]An old-fashion wood clapboard is approximately ¼ inch thick at the lower edge tapering to a very thin top edge. Old-fashion wood clapboards were made to match the exposed surface and thickness of traditional cedar shingles. Wood clapboards were easier to install and to paint than shingles, and therefore this type of wall cladding became very popular during the last century.[0004]Old-fashion clapboard-like siding is coming back in style with speciality wood products that are available at the present time. Wood siding product...
