RiftSawn

Fireplace surround panels must be installed according to the specific clearance-to-combustibles requirements specified by the fireplace manufacturer and local building codes, utilizing Nichiha’s non-combustible clip assemblies.

Nichiha fiber cement gives you the rich, authentic look of natural wood or stone without the heavy maintenance. Unlike natural wood, Nichiha is non-combustible and fire-resistant, while also resisting rot, warping and damage from pests. Unlike vinyl, it won’t melt, crack, or warp under extreme heat.

Most folks like the 5/8″ thick modern VintageWood or RoughSawn for that timeless wood look without the maintenance of traditional wood. Both panels are 18″ (nom.) widths and install with our hidden fastener rainscreen system. VintageWood has the appearance of three 6″ planks per panel width and RoughSawn is made to look like four 4.5″ planks wide. Both can be installed either vertically or horizontally.

Alternatively, for a stunning craftsman, bungalow or transitional styled cedar sidewall look, our 1/2″ Sierra Premium Shake planks come in four prefinished colors. These are installed like normal blind-fastened sidings but with a thicker shadow line, faster installation and less waste than the thinner 1/4″ or 5/16″ traditional products. The corners can even be mitered to get that authentic shake appeal.
