Denis’crew is finishing up the framing and the window trim this week in anticipation of the siding arriving next week. For the window trim pieces, instead of traditional prime finger jointed (PFJ) pine, we are using a product called Claymark Centurion. It was recommended by our friend Jack at Sterrit Lumber. Make from premium radiata pine from New Zealand , the product is FSC Certified and is treated with a 100% acrylic water-based, eco-friendly treatment to increase longevity. As a result, Centurion comes with 50 year warranty. On any horizontal surface which may have standing water such as the water table, we are using Azek Trim. Although Azek is PVC based product, this is an example where the longevity and virtually zero maintenance attributes of Azek make it a smarter choice. Another nice detail we are doing is the picture frame moldings on each exterior corner.

The Anderson 400 Low E Windows are now onsite and are being installed by the framers. We really like the look of the Anderson 400 series. The SDL (simulate divided light) system includes both the interior and the exterior grills which are flush to the glass with an aluminum spacer in between giving them the look of a traditional divided double hung window. We decided to go with the 2x2 grid formation rather than the traditional 2x3 dividers for most of the windows because its bit different and gives the house a little more modern look. More...
