ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pioneer Millworks, a Rochester-based manufacture of sustainable and reclaimed wood flooring, paneling, and siding has announced a new commercial wall cladding product.

Skyline is a multifaceted and customizable wood cladding system developed from over thirty years of building material experience and sustainable practices. Created with a variety of uses in mind, Skyline will work for commercial or residential, interior or exterior, urban or pastoral, and is limited only by your design intent. Available in an abundance of lengths, widths, and milling heights, Skyline's combinations and diversity of uses is infinite. Just as important as Skyline's flexibility and ease of use, is that its substrate is mindfully sourced.

Skyline exterior siding is FSC-certified and cradle-to-cradle gold Accoya, a top choice for longevity, rot resistance, and material health. No matter the design or usage, Accoya is a stable wood and allows for easy installation. Skyline exterior comes prefinished in three colors with two coats on its face and one on its back. The cladding will have no problem withstanding elements and is easy to refinish over time.

For interior applications Skyline comes ready to install in a variety of nine custom colors inspired by dramatic metropolitan landscapes from across the world. This FSC-certified hardwood is prefinished in a natural low-VOC matte finish that allows for depth of color and shadow. The paneling is designed to be mixed and matched in hue and dimension—choose contrasting colors for a specialized look, or tone-on-tone for a more nuanced feel.

Pioneer Millworks Operation Manager Jonathan Taylor who helped develop Skyline said, "We wanted to create a dimensional paneling option in wood that allowed designers to really play," shares Taylor. "Yes, we're wood people so we were going to use wood in some form to make Skyline. But which woods were a real conversation. Which species would provide the stability for this tongue & grooved slat system to work and be easily installed, while allowing designers to focus on color, dimension, and shadow. And then factor in wanting to use solid wood, with no binding chemicals or plastics, for planet & human health—the decisions are intentional. We hope this gives designers real freedom to play and create some incredible dimensional landscapes in wood."

Pioneer Millworks Skyline cladding provides a plethora of important strategies for designers, builders and homeowners. Its inherent elements focusing on sustainability, flexibility, and creativity while revolutionizing exterior and interior siding design.
