For every sustainably designed solution, there is a beautiful cladding material to meet your performance and aesthetic needs. Here are some of the wood siding options you can expect to find from Mataverde.

Hardwood Siding – Mataverde hardwood sidings are all sustainably harvested, carry a 25-year limited warranty against insects and decay, and many species are Class A Fire Rated.

Mataverde hardwoods have high fiber density strength and resilience, can withstand commercial wear and tear beautifully, have low maintenance needs, strong bending strength, and a naturally high resistance to rot, mold, decay, and insects. No chemical treatments, painting, or staining are needed.

All of these hardwoods can be allowed to naturally weather to a satiny silver-gray patina for even less upkeep, not more. Or choose to use an oil-based hardwood penetrating finish with UV protectant and maintain the like-new color of the wood.

Among your wood siding species options are:

Ipe wood siding – With a popular medium to dark brown color range and gorgeous grain pattern, Ipe hardwood is known for being the standard of durability all other wood siding options are compared to. It’s virtually indestructible and has been known to stay strong and useful for over 20 years even without any maintenance.

FSC Machiche wood siding – is not yet as well-known as its tropical cousins but has comparable fiber density strength and characteristics to Ipe and the other hardwoods. Machiche has a natural range of rich, chocolate brown tones and exotic grain variations. Mataverde Machiche comes with FSC Certification, and Rainforest Alliance Certification, making it especially helpful to use on LEED projects.

Jatoba wood siding – Also known as Brazilian Cherry, Jatoba hardwood brings a warm cherry colored tone to your cladding project design.

Garapa wood siding – With lovely golden blonde to light brown tones, Garapa is the perfect choice when your project calls for a lighter colored hardwood siding option. It is also a budget-friendly hardwood choice. Although Garapa has slightly lower fiber density than other hardwoods, it’s no shrinking violet; it ranks 1.5 times higher than Oak on the Janka hardness scale.

Thermally Modified Wood, Including Fire Treated Siding

Mataverde ThermaWood, thermally modified siding, is genuine wood sourced sustainably from North American Western Hemlock in A & Better grade, vertical grain.

Through a chemical-free process involving heat and steam in a pressurized vacuum kiln, the wood becomes stronger and more resilient than its non-modified counterpart. This modified wood is less brittle and more resistant to mold, rot, insect damage, and decay compared to kiln-dried lumber.

ThermaWood Hem-Fir Siding:

A natural wood siding option, this siding showcases deepened colors via the modification process. It's a smart alternative for projects desiring the appearance of Western Red Cedar but without the high cost and more readily available. With a clear vertical grain, resilience in all climates, and a budget-friendly cost, it's gaining increasing popularity. It is also paintable or stainable.

ThermaWood Hem-Fir FR – Fire treated wood siding
For home builders and architects building in wildfire-prone areas, fire retardant treated siding is an excellent natural wood option. ThermaWood FR Hem-Fir siding should not be overlooked. It combines the inherent strengths of ThermaWood Hem-Fir with a permanent and non-toxic fire retardant treatment.

Notably, it is the sole fire treated wood siding option certified by IWUI and to successfully pass the California 10-Year Weathering test.
