Tongue & Groove
Tongue and groove wood offers a clean, continuous look for walls, ceilings, siding, and other architectural applications. At Mason’s Mill & Lumber, we offer a variety of wood species, profiles, and finishes for both interior and exterior projects.
What Is Tongue & Groove Wood?
Tongue and groove, commonly referred to as T&G, is a milling profile that allows adjoining boards to fit together using a tongue on one edge and a matching groove on the other.
This connection creates a consistent surface with clean lines and a uniform appearance. Depending on the profile and wood species, tongue and groove can complement traditional, rustic, or modern architectural styles.
From traditional Southern Yellow Pine to thermally modified hardwoods and softwoods, our team can help you find the right material for your project.

Iron Woods® Vanish™ Rainscreen Siding System Clips & Screws
The Iron Woods® Vanish™ System creates irresistible beauty in the art of both commercial and residential building envelope design and construction. Traditional horizontal rain screen siding has long been recommended for improved air flow allowing air to move vertically behind the siding and moisture to evaporate which significantly improves the service life of a building envelope and coating performance. The Vanish™ Rainscreen System represents a significant leap forward in rain screen design and application. The Vanish™ system also adjusts naturally to changes in humidity throughout seasonal and climatic cycles eliminating stress at the point of connection.
The unique Vanish™ Rain Screen Clips eliminate the appearance of fasteners from the building aesthetic which represents a significant improvement over traditional “on batten/face fastened” rain screen applications. The Iron Woods® Vanish™ Rainscreen System completely eliminates the need for face fastening providing a clean and appealing aesthetic appearance. The unique clip system also eliminates the possibility of moisture holding while allowing both vertical and horizontal air flow to facilitate the dispensation of moisture from behind the wood.
