Wideline • Plywood Siding

As the name suggests, our Wideline pattern consists of wide grooves that run the length of the sheet. Much like its cousin Thinline, Wideline plywood was made popular by the famous mid-century modern architect Joseph Eichler who used it widely on his homes. As it gained popularity for its modern look, the patterned plywood has been used by other mid-century modern architects and designers ever since the 1950s.

During the mid-century, Wideline was primarily applied as exterior siding, which is how it is typically used today.

Our Wideline is milled on plywood with a smooth-sanded Okoume wood veneer, which is similar to mahogany in appearance. Due to its natural rot-resistant characteristics, Okoume is an excellent choice for exterior applications. The texture is also a very close match to the texture and appearance of the original plywood used in the mid-century, so if you are replacing deteriorated siding, it will be a great match.

Take notice of the beautiful grain pattern of Okoume. When paired with the grooved pattern, we think our Wideline plywood is pure vintage, retro magic!
