What is composite wood siding?
Most people refer to this siding as fake wood or composite wood. The siding is man-made, utilizing various combinations of wood chips and glue, manufactured to resemble real wood. Some wood chips are large while some are very fine grained, overlaid with very thin laminate to give a “real wood” look on the surface. These products come in lap and panel siding. Lap siding runs horizontally, and each board laps over the other. Panel siding is a 4×8 or 4×9 sheet of paneling.
