Siding Gives House "Log Cabin" Look BUILDINGS Houses 26-4-31 If you like the look of a log house but prefer to live in the house you have, look around for an ABC Seamless dealer.
ABC Seamless, Fargo, North Dakota, franchises local contractors all over the country to install seamless siding and gutters formed on-site from steel coils. The company recently introduced an attachment for their patented siding forming machine that allows the same steel to be formed in the shape of a log - or half log.
Scott Seiller, marketing director for ABC Seamless, says this means you can have log-look siding in any of the 15 different colors now available as normal maintenance-free flat siding.
Seiller says one customer even asked the company to put Seamless Steel Log siding on his log house. "He said maintaining the logs was a never-ending process and he just wanted to put something over them that would last," he says.
As each panel of ABC Seamless Steel Log Home Siding is applied, a blanket of insulation is placed between the old exterior and the new siding. Then a custom made foam backer is inserted behind each individual log contour for added strength and support. This foam backer insures that the siding holds its log shape.
Jerry Beyers, ABC Seamless Steel Siding president, says their siding gives the rustic look of logs without the worry of the constant staining and caulking that's necessary with traditional wood log siding. "With our steel siding and insulation backer, homeowners will benefit from lower heating and cooling costs and siding that won't crack, chip or rust," he says.
In addition to siding, the company also installs soffits and fascia boards in matching colors. ABC Seamless Steel Siding has 125 franchises in 38 states. To date, most of the interest in their log-look siding has been in the Upper Midwest.
