Simulated Log Siding

摘要

Simulated log siding is formed of an engineered cementitious composite. Single or dual flanges on each log piece is used to apply siding units to a surface. Some siding members are molded into a three dimensional configuration to appear as a structural wood log. Individual end pieces and molded tail clusters when used with the siding provide the appearance of the characteristic stacked or staggered corners of a log structure.

主权项

1. A molded horizontally elongated siding member for use on a structure to simulate log construction, the siding member comprising:
a first edge and a second edge, the member comprising an exterior convex surface and an interior concave surface between the first edge and the second edge; a first end and a second end defining a length of the member; the exterior convex surface cast in a reverse mold of a structural log to replicate the texture of a structural log; and at least one flange along at least one of the edges to attach the member to the structure; wherein the siding member is cast of engineered cementitious composite and is an open trough and wherein the siding member contacts the structure at least along one of the first edge, the second edge, and the at least one flange.
