Paneling and Ceiling

Southern Pine double-beaded and V-groove patterns are classics for applications such as wainscoting and ceiling (interior and porch). Tongue-and-groove products are manufactured in a variety of grades. C&Btr and D grades are excellent for painting and staining. The No.2 grade offers an economical alternative, while providing a rustic look. Refer to SFPA’s publication Southern Pine Patterns (download in Publications) to review the various patterns available, plus finishing tips.

Siding

Southern Pine siding is manufactured in three types of patterns: bevel, drop and log cabin. It is generally sold in grades C&Btr, D and No.2. The physical properties of Southern Pine allow it to provide years of service and make it great for finishes and stains. Refer to SFPA’s publication Southern Pine Patterns (download in Publications) to review available patterns, plus installation and finishing tips.

Windows, Doors, Mouldings

Southern Pine performs well in both impact bending and surface hardness, making it ideal for applications such as doors, windows and other mouldings. Its superior machinability, aesthetic appeal, competitive cost and wide availability make it a smart choice. Improved drying and conditioning techniques greatly enhance product stability.
