LEADING THE INDUSTRY

STRENGTH AT THE CORE

With more than 20 years of successful performance, it's easy to see why LP® SmartSide® is one of the fastest-growing brands of siding materials today.

7©LP and SmartGuard are registered trademarks of Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and are used here by permission.

SmartGuard® helps LP® SmartSide® products withstand extreme temperatures, heavy humidity, arctic freeze thaws and everything in between. This process treats to the core with four components of protection that add strength and resist fungal decay and termites.

EXTRA PROTECTION

All products are made with wood, a renewable resource, grown and gathered under strict Sustainable Forestry Initiative® standards. Plus, all binding agents and resins are low-emitting.

RENEWABLE RESOURCE

8

FORMULATED FINISHDiamond Kote® pre-finish is an advanced paint technology, which uses the purest metal oxide colorants extracted from rocks. These natural raw pigments don't fade over time, will keep your siding vibrant and protected from destructive Ultraviolet sun rays which causes synthetic tints to fade quickly.

9

Under 40x magnification, there are significant differences between the Diamond Kote® pre-finish and other finishes. Other finishes are porous, resulting in a dull finish that traps dirt and moisture and can lead to premature failure.

QUALITY PAINT MATTERS

Diamond Kote® pre-finish is designed to be low maintenance, resisting the build up of dirt and grime while locking out moisture. Being easy to clean, combined with a durable finish reduces overall maintenance.

LAP SIDING

NASA testing of LP® SmartSide® siding has shown that it resists impacts from baseballs, golf balls, river rocks, and marbles traveling at high speeds. Watch the impact video on our YouTube Channel.

RESISTS IMPACT

Upgrade your home with a deep woodgrain texture that looks like real wood.

ENHANCE YOUR CURB APPEAL

Be proud of your home with engineered lap siding. Longer 16 foot lengths equals fewer seams versus using shorter vinyl or fiber cement products. Other installation practices can result in unattractive seams. Request Diamond Kote® color matching H-Moldings for your home.

RIGIDSTACK ™ SIDING

As pieces are stacked, they form an extremely strong system. This bond is up to 375% stronger than regular lap siding.

STACKS FOR PERFORMANCE

RigidStack™ Siding is designed with a spline to stack and lock together, plus all the benefits of lap siding.

STRONGER SIDING

Loose siding can make a flapping noise in windy conditions. Choose RigidStack™ with extreme strength to protect against coastal winds and damage from hail, up to 1.75" in diameter in all regions.

BUILT TO PROTECT

Diamond Kote® Siding System includes a family of distinctive shakes to help enhance your home’s architectural elements.

ELEVATE YOUR STYLE

It’s important to think about the style, architecture, and time period of your home. Cape Cod and Colonial style homes use a straight edge shake, while a Craftsman style home would typically use a staggered edge shake.

BOARD AND BATTEN

Create visual interest with texture or vertical accents to accentuate and make your home appear larger with more dimension.

ADDING TEXTURE

Versatile enough to work with a rustic looking cottage or a contemporary modern look. Inverted grooves give your home accented texture with a more subtle look.

Poorly ventilated homes contribute to higher energy costs and moisture problems. Moisture build up could lead to mold or mildew, which may lead to respiratory issues.

POWER OF PROBLEMS

A significant body of research has revealed that 47% homes in the U.S. do not have proper ventilation.

Lawrence Berkley Laboratory

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

Our solution is to provide a product with a high (net free air) rating of 10 NFA to work with your roofing vent system. Commonly used vinyl and cement systems only average 5-7 NFA which may not meet roof warranty standards.

SOLUTION: PROPER VENTILATION

SOFFIT + FASCIA

Coffee & White Trim Cinnabar & White Trim

45

Create a dramatic effect by finishing your overhangs, porch, and ceilings with the same woodgrain look. Be the talk of the block with a soffit that is as distinctive as the siding.

TOP IT OFF RIGHT

Thin metal fascias are easily damaged by hail and storm debris or could blow off in the wind. Just like our siding, our fascia resists impact and can hold up against the damaging effects of mother nature. Choose a whole siding system with matching woodgrain for a high end feel.

PLAN FOR PROTECTION

Providing the perfect transition between the ground and first course of siding to maintain installation requirements.
