Contractor’s Corner: Trinity Exteriors in Minneapolis, Minnesota

There are many reasons why LP® is transforming siding from an average commodity to a desired luxury item. Here’s why I believe LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding should be the top pick for homeowners and contractors looking for house siding options.

  1. Durability. LP SmartSide Trim & Siding is treated with a special mixture of resins, waxes and zinc borate to protect the wood from termites, moisture and rot. It is also resistant to impacts such as golf balls or hail.
  2. Efficient installation. Because it’s lighter and more durable, engineered wood siding doesn’t need two installers carrying delicate pieces from the truck to the house. This streamlines the required labor and could minimize the cost homeowners pay to upgrade their siding. Also, only a dedicated fiber cement saw blade can be used when cutting fiber cement siding, LP SmartSide siding only requires standard blades.
  3. Environmentally-friendly. Engineered wood siding comes from a naturally occurring, renewable resource.
  4. Cleaner jobsite. Cutting into fiber cement siding creates plumes of fine dust that scatters all over the customer’s yard. Engineered siding produces the usual sawdust that stays fairly localized and is less obtrusive on landscaping.
  5. Designer colors and styles. LP SmartSide siding has partnered with Kristie Barnett, an award-winning expert in residential paint color and her popular blog, The Decorologist. Barnett offers expert advice on colors and exterior design to help you make your LP SmartSide siding look its best.
