Absolute Sill is a high-quality moulding product designed for use in various construction and finishing applications. It is made from either Western Red Cedar or Yellow Cedar, both of which are prized for their durability, resistance to decay, and attractive appearance. The product is finger jointed, which involves joining shorter pieces of wood end-to-end using interlocking finger-like joints, resulting in a longer, more stable piece. This sill is also primed and graded as STK (Select Tight Knot), which ensures a visually appealing and structurally sound product.

Characteristics

1. Material

   • Western Red Cedar or Yellow Cedar: Valued for its fine texture, straight grain, and high resistance to weathering and decay.

2. Finger Jointed

   • Enhanced Stability: Finger jointing creates a stronger, more stable piece by reducing warping and twisting.
   • Efficient Use of Wood: Utilizes shorter, otherwise unusable pieces of wood, promoting sustainability and reducing waste.

3. Primed

   • Ready for Painting: Comes pre-primed, saving time and effort in preparation for final painting or finishing.
   • Improved Adhesion: The primer provides a good base for the topcoat, ensuring better adhesion and a more durable finish.

4. STK Grade (Select Tight Knot)

   • Visual Appeal: Contains small, tight knots that do not compromise the structural integrity and add a rustic charm.
   • Structural Integrity: Knots are stable and do not weaken the wood, ensuring a strong and durable product.

Benefits

1. Durability

   • Decay Resistance: Both Western Red Cedar and Yellow Cedar are naturally resistant to decay and insect damage, making them ideal for exterior applications.
   • Weather Resistance: Cedar's natural oils provide excellent resistance to weathering, ensuring longevity even in harsh conditions.

2. Workability

   • Easy to Work With: Cedar is relatively soft and easy to cut, shape, and install.
   • Primed Surface: The primed finish makes it easier to apply the final coat of paint, ensuring a smooth and even finish.

3. Environmental Benefits

   • Sustainable Material: Cedar is a renewable resource, and the use of finger jointing maximizes the utility of the wood, reducing waste.
   • Low Environmental Impact: The production of cedar wood products has a lower environmental impact compared to non-renewable materials.

4. Cost-Effective

   • Reduced Waste: Finger jointing reduces waste by utilizing shorter pieces of wood, making it a more cost-effective solution.
   • Longevity: The durability and resistance to decay of cedar ensure that the product will last for many years, providing long-term value.
