PANELING AND SIDING
Founded in 1911 by Antone V. <strong>Beronio</strong>, <strong>Beronio</strong> <strong>Lumber</strong> has supplied fine<br />
wood products to architects <strong>and</strong> builders for over ninety years. From its<br />
original yard on Powell <strong>and</strong> Beach Streets on San Francisco’s bustling<br />
waterfront, <strong>Beronio</strong> sold lumber, millwork <strong>and</strong> mouldings to the<br />
contractors busy rebuilding the city after the devastating earthquake <strong>and</strong><br />
fire of 1906. It was these proud craftsmen who created the rich<br />
architectural heritage for which San Francisco is famous today.<br />
From the beginning, <strong>Beronio</strong> <strong>Lumber</strong> has offered high quality wood<br />
paneling <strong>and</strong> siding. Over the years we’ve amassed a wide assortment of<br />
patterns <strong>and</strong> profiles. This catalog includes snapshots of some of the<br />
many patterns <strong>and</strong> profiles presently in inventory. While we’ve tried our<br />
best to show representative pieces, it’s impossible for just one piece to<br />
convey the full range <strong>and</strong> depth of the natural characteristics found in a<br />
particular wood species or lumber grade. Naturally, it’s best to come <strong>and</strong><br />
see for yourself which species <strong>and</strong> grade best meet your needs.<br />
Can’t find something in this catalog that meets your needs? No<br />
problem. We look forward to working with you to produce a custom<br />
pattern or profile.<br />
All patterns are subject to change without notice. Please check with<br />
<strong>Beronio</strong> <strong>Lumber</strong> before making final choices.

PANELING AND WAINSCOTING<br />
Wood paneling enhances any décor. Whether it’s smooth, textured,<br />
patterned, stained, tinted, waxed or natural, real wood has a unique look<br />
<strong>and</strong> radiates a warmth unmatched by other interior finishes. With so many<br />
options to choose from, how do you decide? We recommend Rob Thallon’s<br />
Graphic Guide to Interior Details published by The Taunton Press as a good<br />
introduction to millwork in general <strong>and</strong> to paneling in particular. Or, you<br />
might try the Western Wood Products Association’s idea booklet Real<br />
Wood Interiors—A Design Workbook. A great source for specific<br />
installation details is the book <strong>and</strong> companion video Trim Carpentry<br />
Techniques by Craig Savage, also from The Taunton Press. These books<br />
<strong>and</strong> more are available at our Marin Street store.<br />
Naturally, most wainscot patterns serve equally well when used as wall or<br />
ceiling paneling.

Wood has been used as siding for centuries. It provides weather protection<br />
<strong>and</strong> insulation in a wide range of siding types <strong>and</strong> patterns affording<br />
unlimited design possibilities. When properly installed <strong>and</strong> maintained,<br />
wood siding will provide decades <strong>and</strong> decades of service. The ancient temples<br />
of Japan, the 12th century stave churches of Norway, <strong>and</strong> the colonial<br />
houses of New Engl<strong>and</strong> attest to the longevity of a well designed <strong>and</strong><br />
properly constructed wood building.<br />
For best performance, it’s important to select a siding type <strong>and</strong> pattern that<br />
is suited to your local climate. In addition to appearance, several things<br />
must be considered when determining the wood species, the lumber<br />
grade <strong>and</strong> the siding pattern that’s best for your project. Will the building<br />
be subject to driving rain or to hot, dry winds? How wide are the roof<br />
overhangs? Will the siding be installed horizontally or vertically? What kind<br />
of finish will be applied to the siding?<br />
While choosing the right siding may sound complex, a lot of it is just<br />
common sense. Wood has been the siding of choice in the United States for<br />
over 300 years, so there are countless examples to be seen. Take a walk<br />
around you own neighborhood. What siding types <strong>and</strong> patterns have<br />
traditionally been used? Do they complement the buildings’ design? How<br />
are they holding up? The beautiful painted Victorian houses that grace the<br />
Bay Area attest to the natural longevity of painted siding of redwood <strong>and</strong><br />
western red cedar.<br />
SIDING<br />
Even if your design calls for something apart from the commonplace or<br />
traditional, there are a few things to always keep in mind when selecting<br />
wood siding. Narrower patterns shrink <strong>and</strong> swell in width less than wider<br />
ones <strong>and</strong> thus are less likely to cup <strong>and</strong> split as the ambient environment<br />
cycles between wet <strong>and</strong> dry. Thicker patterns have less tendency to cup or<br />
split than thinner ones. Vertical grain siding is roughly twice as<br />
dimensionally stable as flat grain siding, so it holds paint better <strong>and</strong> longer,<br />
<strong>and</strong> is much less likely to cup, split or exhibit raised grain. Clear grades of<br />
siding always outperform knotty grades. Bevel, Dolly Varden, <strong>and</strong> Channel<br />
Rustic siding patterns allow for more dimensional change without adversely<br />
affecting siding appearance than do drop <strong>and</strong> tongue & groove patterns.<br />
Most wood siding is installed horizontally. Vertically installed siding is a<br />
special case that often warrants the use of higher grade siding <strong>and</strong> more<br />
careful installation. All other things being equal, siding patterns that are<br />
narrower, thicker <strong>and</strong> made from clear, vertical grain lumber always<br />
perform best.<br />
The performance of even the best grades of wood siding can be undermined<br />
by improper installation <strong>and</strong> poor maintenance. Fortunately, there are<br />
several excellent guides that spell out how wood siding should be installed<br />
<strong>and</strong> maintained to ensure best performance. We keep on h<strong>and</strong> for distribution<br />
to customers copies of the Western Wood Products Association’s Natural<br />
Wood <strong>Siding</strong> Selection, Installation & Finishing <strong>and</strong> the California Redwood<br />
Association’s <strong>Siding</strong> Patterns <strong>and</strong> Applications. The Canadian Wood
Council’s Wood Reference H<strong>and</strong>book is without equal as a general guide to<br />
the use of wood in building construction. We stock <strong>and</strong> recommend The<br />
Builder’s Guide to Mixed Climates by Joseph Lstiburek.<br />
Poor performance of siding is most often caused by building design flaws,<br />
improper installation, <strong>and</strong> inadequate maintenance. Compared to the<br />
traditional “energy wasters,” today’s energy-efficient houses present a<br />
particular challenge to the performance of wood siding. The main<br />
difference is that the walls of older houses are leaky, warm <strong>and</strong> forgiving<br />
of getting wet, while those of new houses are tight, cold <strong>and</strong> unforgiving.<br />
The result is that wood siding on new houses that gets wet stays wet<br />
longer <strong>and</strong> often accumulates enough moisture to cause problems such as<br />
extractive staining*, mildew <strong>and</strong> peeling paint.<br />
These <strong>and</strong> other moisture-caused problems in wood siding can be avoided<br />
by installing siding according to the rain screen principle. Traditionally,<br />
wood siding is installed directly over sheathing <strong>and</strong> housewrap, with no<br />
gap between the two. With the rain screen principle, siding is installed on<br />
furring strips or over a 3-dimensional plastic mesh to create an air space<br />
between siding <strong>and</strong> sheathing <strong>and</strong> housewrap. The air space allows water<br />
vapor to escape from the rear of the siding as well as from its face. "Rain<br />
screen" siding dries quickly after getting wet, so it doesn’t stay wet long<br />
enough for problems to arise. Furring strips, which are about 1/4 inch thick,<br />
are located over framing members. The air space is screened at the top<br />
SIDING<br />
<strong>and</strong> bottom to keep out insects. Used in the wetter regions of Europe with<br />
great success for more than 30 years, rain screen siding is gaining<br />
acceptance in North America. Installation details can be found in ‘Rain-<br />
Screen Walls: a Better Way to Install <strong>Siding</strong>’ in the February/March 2001<br />
issue of The Taunton Press’ Fine Homebuilding Magazine.<br />
*Western red cedar, redwood, <strong>and</strong> Alaskan yellow cedar are rich in natural organic compounds<br />
called extractives. These compounds impart to these woods their color, aroma <strong>and</strong> decay<br />
resistance. Sometimes, when these woods get wet, the extractives migrate to the surface <strong>and</strong><br />
cause discoloration. These spots are natural, unavoidable, <strong>and</strong> tend to lessen in intensity over<br />
time.<br />

PRIMED HOUSE RED SIDINGS<br />
The patterns featured here are those most commonly used in the Bay<br />
Area over the past 150 years. Found on everything from elegant<br />
Victorians to the sidewalls of refined buildings of the 1920’s <strong>and</strong> 30’s in<br />
such areas as Piedmont, Pacific Heights, <strong>and</strong> St. Francis Woods, they<br />
provide the ideal means of cladding a building in harmony with the<br />
neighborhood’s existing architectural style.<br />
The bulk of the details are stocked in premium quality fingerjointed<br />
western red cedar or redwood. The sidings contain a large percentage of<br />
vertical grain stock for maximum dimensional stability <strong>and</strong> better overall<br />
performance. Unless otherwise noted, each board is finished on all<br />
sides with two coats of a premium stain-blocking primer that improves<br />
topcoat performance. The combination of predominantly vertical grain <strong>and</strong><br />
the two coats of primer greatly minimizes the chance of grain raising <strong>and</strong><br />
extractive staining.

CEDAR SHINGLES<br />
Wood shingles have a special warmth <strong>and</strong> elegance <strong>and</strong> a classic architectural<br />
look that speaks of quality, taste, <strong>and</strong> timelessness. No other cladding<br />
offers nature’s own formula for unrivaled, weather-defying protection <strong>and</strong><br />
insulation that ensures that your investment will last <strong>and</strong> last. We stock<br />
Stave Lake #1 Blue Certi-Label shingles in both Western Red Cedar <strong>and</strong><br />
Alaskan Yellow Cedar. All of our shingles are 100% heartwood, 100% clear,<br />
<strong>and</strong> 100% vertical grain. <strong>Beronio</strong> is proud to be an associate member of the<br />
Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau <strong>and</strong> supports the bureau’s dedication to<br />
rigorous quality control <strong>and</strong> technical support. Shingle selection, installation,<br />
finishing details, <strong>and</strong> other information is available at www.cedarbureau.org.<br />
We inventory a wide array of shingles. The most popular is the st<strong>and</strong>ard,<br />
unseasoned KS 10 16” (Five-X) sidewall shingle, which has an A-grade face<br />
<strong>and</strong> butt. 16” Five-X shingles are 2/5 of an inch thick at the butt <strong>and</strong> are<br />
typically installed with 5” of wood exposed to weather. Where tight-fitting,<br />
parallel joints between shingles are desired, our KS 14 Rebutted <strong>and</strong><br />
Rejointed shingles are an ideal choice. All sides <strong>and</strong> ends of R&R shingles<br />
are machine trimmed to have parallel edges that meet at 90 degrees. The<br />
faces have been s<strong>and</strong>ed smooth, providing an ideal surface for finishing.<br />
Five-X R&R’s are available in both Red Cedar <strong>and</strong> Alaskan Yellow Cedar for<br />
those who prefer a lighter colored shingle. We also stock 18” perfections<br />
for those jobs where a larger scale is preferred.<br />
We stock Fanci-Butt red cedar shingles in all of the popular designs.<br />
Whether you’re looking for Fishscale, Round, Diagonal, Arrow, Diamond,<br />
Half-Cove, Hexagonal, Octagonal, or Square, we have the profile in stock<br />
that makes your project unique.<br />

PLYWOOD SIDING<br />
Versatile, economical, <strong>and</strong> relatively easy to install, plywood siding has been<br />
used for decades. We proudly stock K-Ply’s Western Red Cedar plywood<br />
siding <strong>and</strong> Roseburg Forest Products’ Breckenridge plywood siding.<br />
K-Ply panels feature a naturally durable western red cedar face <strong>and</strong> back.<br />
Our stock grade is 303:18S which allows up to 18 small solid knots <strong>and</strong>/or<br />
knot holes that have been filled with a cedar-toned filler. Panels with clear<br />
faces are available on a special order basis. <strong>Beronio</strong> <strong>Lumber</strong> also carries K-<br />
Ply’s unique Panel 4 which features a face composed of 4-inch-wide clear red<br />
cedar strips. Panel 4 offers the look of 1 x 4 T&G lumber siding with the<br />
installation ease of plywood.<br />
Breckenridge is Roseburg Forest Products’ premium grade plywood siding.<br />
Produced from selected face veneers with specific grain characteristics, it<br />
st<strong>and</strong>s apart from typical Douglas Fir plywood siding. The carefully selected<br />
faces create a dimensionally stable panel that has no major visual distinction<br />
between sapwood <strong>and</strong> heartwood, resulting in a more uniform grain that<br />
enhances the appearance <strong>and</strong> longevity of applied finishes. For best performance,<br />
Roseburg recommends that the siding be finished with a solid color acrylic<br />
coating. Among all of the wood-base sidings, plywood siding is the most<br />
maintenance-intensive.

Selecting the right finish for your wood siding is critical to maintaining<br />
its appearance <strong>and</strong> performance over time. For information beyond<br />
what is presented in this primer on finish types, we recommend The<br />
Forest Products Society's Finishes for Exterior Wood as an excellent<br />
overall guide.<br />
Paints, solid-color stains, clear coatings, water repellents, <strong>and</strong><br />
semitransparent stains are applied to wood siding to enhance its<br />
appearance <strong>and</strong> to protect it from the elements. These <strong>and</strong> other finishes<br />
are classified as either film-forming or penetrating. Both types can be<br />
either water-borne (also known as latex) or oil-base. Upon drying, filmforming<br />
finishes—primers, paints, solid-color stains, <strong>and</strong> clear<br />
coatings—coalesce into a thin continuous sheet that sits on top of the<br />
wood. Of all coating types, film-forming finishes provide the greatest<br />
protection to wood by virtue of the physical barrier they pose to the<br />
elements. Penetrating finishes, on the other h<strong>and</strong>, do not form surface<br />
films, but rather are absorbed into the wood. Water repellents <strong>and</strong><br />
semitransparent stains fall into this category. Effective in controlling<br />
surface checking, penetrating finishes do not stop wood from weathering.<br />
The type of finish, the properties of the wood to which it is applied, local<br />
climate, <strong>and</strong> directional exposure influence the performance <strong>and</strong><br />
longevity of coatings applied to exterior wood products. All other things<br />
being equal, paints last longest, followed closely by solid-color stains,<br />
with semitransparent stains, water repellents, <strong>and</strong> clear coatings all<br />
about an equally distant third. All other things being equal, finishes last<br />
longest on vertical grained surfaces of low density softwoods whose<br />
moisture content stays below about 16 percent. All other things being<br />
FINISHES FOR WOOD SIDING<br />
equal, coatings last longest on a building’s northern exposure <strong>and</strong> on<br />
those parts of a building that are sheltered from rain.<br />
Finishes can be applied to new wood siding in a factory or on site.<br />
Because of its many advantages, factory-finishing of siding is fast<br />
becoming the norm. Here, all sides of every piece of siding—face, back,<br />
edges, <strong>and</strong> ends—are machine-coated with a primer <strong>and</strong>, if desired, with<br />
one or more topcoats. Because the siding arrives at the jobsite already<br />
backprimed <strong>and</strong> topcoated, field finishing costs are reduced or eliminated,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the siding has instant protection from the elements. Site-cut edges<br />
<strong>and</strong> ends, of course, must be re-primed before siding is installed.<br />
Likewise, the back, edges, <strong>and</strong> ends of new bare wood siding that will be<br />
finished in the field should be primed before siding is installed. The face<br />
should be primed within two weeks of the siding being installed,<br />
otherwise it will have to be lightly s<strong>and</strong>ed to remove contaminants <strong>and</strong> to<br />
reactivate the wood for good adhesion. Such surface preparation is, of<br />
course, not possible with roughsawn siding. Best adhesion is achieved on<br />
both smooth <strong>and</strong> rough siding when finishes are worked into surface<br />
irregularities by brushing. Finishes applied on-site by spraying or rolling<br />
should be back-brushed for this reason.<br />
FILM-FORMING FINISHES<br />
PRIMERS—Applied to bare wood in advance of paints <strong>and</strong> solid-color<br />
stains, a primer creates a smooth base for the topcoat to adhere to, <strong>and</strong><br />
serves as a chemical barrier between the wood <strong>and</strong> the topcoat. Best<br />
performance is obtained with a primer that contains a fungicide to stop<br />
mildew <strong>and</strong> a stain-blocker that prevents water-soluble extractives in<br />
wood from discoloring topcoats.
PAINTS—Paints are opaque coatings that, in addition to their decorative<br />
function, protect wood by blocking the sun’s ultraviolet rays, repelling<br />
liquid water, retarding the absorption of water vapor, <strong>and</strong> preventing<br />
erosion. For each wet coat applied, a dry film 2 or 3 mils thick (1 mil<br />
equals 0.001 inches) is left behind. Oil-base paints generally have lower<br />
permeability to water vapor <strong>and</strong> are less flexible over time than waterborne<br />
paints. As a consequence, oil-base paints are more susceptible to<br />
cracking <strong>and</strong> peeling occasioned by swelling <strong>and</strong> shrinking of the<br />
underlying wood. Performance <strong>and</strong> longevity of paints can be enhanced<br />
by treating bare wood with a “paintable” water repellent prior to priming.<br />
Paint’s best performance is obtained when two topcoats of 100 percent<br />
acrylic latex paint with fungicide are applied over a primer containing<br />
fungicide <strong>and</strong> stain-blocker. Depending on local climate <strong>and</strong> severity of<br />
exposure, such a system should give 7 to 10 years of good<br />
performance before refinishing is needed.<br />
SOLID-COLOR STAINS—Solid-color stains are essentially thin paints, with<br />
a one-coat dry film thickness of about 1 mil. The thinness of the film<br />
permits both liquid water <strong>and</strong> water vapor to pass more easily into <strong>and</strong> out<br />
of the wood. Though some solid-color stains can be applied directly to<br />
bare wood, most benefit from being applied over a compatible primer<br />
containing fungicide <strong>and</strong> stain-blocker. Application of a “paintable” water<br />
repellent prior to priming further improves performance <strong>and</strong> longevity. As<br />
with paints, best performance is achieved with a three-coat system of<br />
primer containing fungicide <strong>and</strong> stain-blocker <strong>and</strong> two top coats of 100<br />
percent acrylic latex solid-color stain with fungicide. Depending on the<br />
environment, this system should give 3 to 7 years of satisfactory service<br />
before maintenance is required.<br />
CLEAR COATINGS—Essentially paints without pigment, varnishes,<br />
urethanes, <strong>and</strong> other clear coatings require frequent maintenance. The<br />
sun’s ultraviolet rays pass through these transparent finishes <strong>and</strong> slowly<br />
degrade the wood. In usually two years or less, even the toughest clear<br />
finishes often crack <strong>and</strong> peel. Additives that block or absorb ultraviolet light<br />
slightly lengthen the service life of clear coatings. Best performance is<br />
obtained by applying a “paintable” water repellent to the bare wood,<br />
followed by three or more coats of finish.<br />
PENETRATING FINISHES<br />
WATER REPELLENTS—Used on exterior wood that is otherwise<br />
unfinished, water repellents retard absorption of liquid water by wood,<br />
causing dew, rain, <strong>and</strong> snow melt to bead on the surface where it can<br />
harmlessly evaporate. Effective in limiting warping, surface checking, <strong>and</strong><br />
end splitting, these penetrating finishes do not prevent wood from turning<br />
gray. Most water repellents are oil-based; some contain a fungicide to<br />
discourage mildew. Applied liberally by brushing or spraying, water<br />
repellents are readily absorbed into smooth <strong>and</strong> rough wood. Because<br />
water repellents applied to otherwise unfinished wood remain effective for<br />
only 1 or 2 years, they must be reapplied regularly. So-called “paintable”<br />
water repellents are applied directly to bare wood before the primer to<br />
enhance the performance <strong>and</strong> longevity of paints <strong>and</strong> solid-color stains by<br />
reducing extractive staining, <strong>and</strong> blistering <strong>and</strong> peeling.<br />
SEMITRANSPARENT STAINS—An excellent choice for roughsawn or<br />
weathered wood, semitransparent stains impart color to wood without<br />
hiding its natural texture. If used on new smooth wood, only a single coat<br />
of semitransparent stain should be applied initially. Otherwise, a film may<br />
form; surfaces may appear glossy <strong>and</strong> later begin to flake because of<br />
smooth wood’s inability to absorb the second coat. Additional coats can<br />
be applied once smooth surfaces have become more absorptive after<br />
weathering for 1 or 2 years. Semitransparent stains provide to wood only<br />
slightly more protection from the elements than water repellents.<br />
Reapplication is usually necessary every 3 to 4 years.<br />

SIDING: INSTALLATION DETAILS<br />
A rainscreen installation uses furring strips, or breather mesh, to maintain<br />
an air space behind the siding. The air gap provides improved drainage,<br />
better drying, reduces the chance of rot, increases the service life of the<br />
coating system, <strong>and</strong> is generally much easier on the siding by allowing it<br />
to “breathe.” The technique was first developed in the wet climates of<br />
Northern Europe <strong>and</strong> Canada in an effort to help accomodate siding<br />
problems caused by modern “air-tight” construction. The results have<br />
been dramatic. Now, the “rainscreen” system is beginning to gain<br />
acceptance in North America. We do not have the training to design entire<br />
systems. The panels depicted here are presented to show how the<br />
system works in principle, <strong>and</strong> are not intended as specific designs. The<br />
Building Science Corporation (www.buildingscience.com) contains a<br />
wealth of information regarding “rainscreen” design <strong>and</strong> is a great source<br />
for more specific details.<br />
