Beetle Kill Siding Renovation, Breckenridge, CO

The Mountain Pine Beetle has already killed over 4 million acres of lodgepole pine trees across the Rocky Mountain region. This epidemic has caused a surplus of lodge pole pine wood that should, and can be, put to good use. So we at Great Divide Builders want to be a part of the solution and have used Rocky Mountain pine beetle kill wood, also known as blue stain pine, in projects from exterior siding, to hand rails, to bar tops. Pine beetle kill wood is structurally sound and safe to use in exterior and interior building applications, is the most sustainable product in our region, and the results are beautiful. A mix of hand scraped wood siding, corrugated rusted steel siding and locally sourced pine beetle kill wood siding, or blue stain pine, was used in the mining style achitecture of this Breckenridge, Colorado home, making it the greenest renovation possible in the Rocky Mountain region .
