This is an open rain screen assembly, so it is installed over 3/4" furring strips which we painted black and fully wrapped with charcoal fiberglass screening to prevent insect access. The wood was pre-treated on all sides with an opaque stain prior to installation and exposed stainless steel fasteners were used. A composite material would work beautifully for this same installation. Our client and us chose the material and technique utilized here in consideration of both budget and longevity.

We are looking to use a composite wood type material on a building my husband and I own. We love all the modern houses that are incorporating wood planks to the exterior but we live in the Midwest and need something more weather resistant/low maintenance so it seems we need a composite type material but don't know which ones are proven/recommended.
