SECTION 07 46 23
CHARRED WOOD SIDING

Surface & Texture

Newport Gray is once brushed after proprietary charring methods. The texture is silky smooth to the touch and appears to have layers of waves varying in color from a June Gloom sky to dark storm clouds rolling in from the coast. The soot layer is approximately 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) thick. It is suitable for exterior or interior use. Newport Gray does not need to be oil finished for exterior applications but an oil pre-finish will bond in soot and slow down color weathering.

Wood Grade

STK – “Select Tight Knot” grade allows for well spaced intergrown knot. Unlimited combination of heartwood and sapwood, pith allowed. Checks allowed to 1/16” as long as plank stability, weather-resistance, and cosmetics are not adversely affected.
CMG – “Clear Mix Grain” no knots with minor blemishes (ie. birdseye).
Clear Grades are predominately sapwood.

Species

Native to Oregon and NW California, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana is a species of conifer also known as Port Orford Cedar, white or Oregon-cedar, ginger-pine, or Lawson cypress. Renowned for its beauty and structural integrity, useful for both indoor and outdoor applications. Port-Orford-Cedar has earned a reputation for strength and decay-resistance. It is a particularly hard and strong cedar with the similar or superior natural durability as other types of cedar when it comes to weather, rot and insects.
