Overview

Cypress siding is a Southern classic — a naturally durable softwood that has protected homes across the Gulf Coast and Southeast for centuries. Bald Cypress offers excellent natural resistance to rot, decay, and insects, along with superior dimensional stability that minimizes warping and cupping. Its tight, straight grain accepts paints and stains beautifully, while the heartwood's natural durability means less maintenance over the life of the siding.

Installation Tips

1

Use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized nails.

2

Install over a weather-resistant barrier with furring strips.

3

Back-prime boards before installation.

4

Choose heartwood grade for best natural durability.

5

Allow standard gaps at joints for expansion.

6

Stain or paint within 60 days for optimal finish adhesion.

Maintenance

Cypress siding should be painted or stained every 3-5 years for best appearance and protection. Semi-transparent stains work well to showcase the grain. Heartwood Cypress can weather naturally to gray if desired. Inspect annually for any needed caulking or touch-up. Cypress holds paint and stain exceptionally well due to its minimal pitch content.
