This summer, specialty products supplier Issaquah Lumber, Issaquah, Wa., has added a second Grad System milling machine to meet market demand for custom-milled wood decking and cladding that incorporate the hidden clip system.
As one of four companies nationwide to produce products for use with the system, Issaquah Lumber currently offers custom milling for a range of decking and cladding products, including cedar, Accoya (and Accoya Color), Arbor Wood, Dasso, Kebony, Modern Mill, and Thermory, and can ship worldwide.
Customers can choose from various sizes and finishes for interior and exterior applications.
The Grad System, a hidden clip system for decking and cladding, was introduced to the U.S. market five years ago. It includes an award-winning attachment solution for decking and cladding, a perfect rainscreen application. The innovative hidden fastener system saves time and money on installation and is also a durable and flexible system that will last for years.
“We’re excited to partner with Grad System,” said Chad Amble, president and CEO of Issaquah Lumber. “We’re always looking for ways to help our customers, whether product selection, alternative design options, or cost savings. Grad rail fastener system is the future and will save installers time, reduce callbacks, and improve their bottom line.”
“A perfect partner for the Grad System, I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Chad and his team at Issaquah Lumber,” said Gwladys Petit, CEO of Grad Concept Inc., USA. “From day one, Issaquah Lumber saw the potential for Grad System in the marketplace and developed a program to make it easy to specify.”
