The Linwood performax system gives
you an extensive choice of materials that offer premium
performance and will also be cost effective
during installation. Choosing the right design and materials
allows for best construction practices and can
save a lot of labor. It is hard to find experienced trades and
construction labor is expensive. As a
consequence the use of higher quality material not only gives
you a better result but can result in substantial cost savings.
Here are some examples of the value
of premium materials:
- Linwood 1x6 channel siding is
20% thicker than competing products. It is a full ¾” thick and
consists of premium grade kiln dried, combed face, select tight
knot material. This allows for faster & easier installation
than bevel siding. Unlike bevel siding it is consistent in
thickness giving maximum resistance to cupping. The combed face
finish allows best application and retention of stain.
- Our quality kiln dried cedar
products result in less waste, less cutting, less splitting,
minimal shrinkage requiring less caulking after application.
- Our premium export grade lumber
results in straighter walls, easier to drywall, fewer
nail-pops, better painting results and makes it easier to
attach liner, moldings & trim.
- Laminated Douglas fir beams are
sealed which protects them from staining during storage and
construction. This is a cost effective, esthetically pleasing
product available in a wide variety of sizes to meets
structural loading requirements.
- Our solid vaulted rafter system
allows for cost effective and easy installation, without the
need for expensive and labor intensive reinforcing of
cantilevered overhangs common to I-joist roofing systems.
- Plywood flooring is a select
T&G with filled knots resulting in a smooth face which
allows tile and hardwood to be applied without the added cost
of underlayment.
- Sill plates are treated with
environmentally friendly borate, allowing the use of
conventional hardware. Other suppliers may use cheaper ACQ
treated sill plates which corrode conventional hardware.
- Linwood
uses non-corrosive Z-max hangers and stainless steel screws for
deck, porches and exterior stair connections to pressure
treated lumber.
- All our windows,
patio doors and railing systems include tempered glass where
required by code.
- Basement interior
loadbearing walls or nail-lam beams are included in the house
package, unlike others who only include material to build from
the main floor upwards.
- Linwood
offers the widest selection of windows in the industry, chosen
for low maintenence, high energy efficiency, contemporary looks
and availability in multiple shapes and sizes. Vinyl, wood and
metal clad products are available in a multitude of opening
systems and color options.
