One-Piece Fascia Board / Shingle Band Saves Home Builders Time and Money
Plattsburgh, NY (PRWEB) November 27, 2007 -- Cedar Knoll Log Homes (http://www.cedarknollloghomes.com), a leading Adirondack log home designer and manufacturer, introduces its new one-piece fascia board / shingle band. Cedar Knoll Log Homes is producing this new fascia board / shingle band product in standard dimensions of 2 inch by 8 inch by 12 feet, available in both white cedar and white pine. Custom cut dimensions, trim options and species are available by special request.
Ron Marx, president of Cedar Knoll Log Homes said, "This new one-piece fascia board / shingle band product can save home builders both materials cost and labor. At $1.49 a board foot, home builders can save up to 30% off the cost to buy two pieces of lumber to do the same job. This also means that builders need only go up the ladder once to apply the one-piece fascia board / shingle band versus twice; once to put up the fascia and back up again to put up the shingle band."
A fascia board is a horizontal board of vertical face, usually below the edge of the roof and attached to the roof rafter tails. A shingle band (also commonly called a rake board) is a trim board that is attached at the top front of the fascia board to support the overhang of the roof shingles and to protect the fascia from water drips. Traditional wood-framed construction methodology requires two separate pieces of lumber and a two-step application process to apply the fascia board and shingle band. Cedar Knoll Log Homes' new one-piece fascia board / shingle band was developed to make this process easier and more economical for home builders.
"This is another example of how Cedar Knoll Log Homes is using innovative thinking and custom engineering to meet the needs of the home builder market. While we primarily focus on the log home building market, we have significant interaction with home builders of all types. We listen to the needs of the marketplace and in this case we responded by designing and producing a new product that has been met with very favorable reviews. Finding ways to build better homes is one of the value-added services that has helped Cedar Knoll Log Homes become an industry leader," concluded Marx.
