On one hand, while siding accentuates the architecture of your home, you also want it to be extremely strong to withstand it all – from baseball impacts and heavy snow to hailstorms and strong winds. Adding texture and accents are crucial to the external design and beauty of your home, but at the same time ensuring proper ventilation and water management are equally important factors that you must account for when selecting your siding.

Diamond Kote® Building Products is an industry leading brand of pre-finished LP® SmartSide®, re-manufactured by Wausau Siding Systems™. What does this mean for builders, architects and homeowners?

LP® SmartSide® is an engineered wood product treated with a SmartGuard® process to withstand extreme temperatures, heavy humidity, freeze/thaws and everything in between. This process treats to the core with four components (waxes, overlay, binders & zinc borate) of protection that add strength and resist fungal decay and termites.

LP® SmartSide® is available in 16 versatile prefinished ExpertFinish® colors with a guaranteed good look that will remain durable for years to come due to a factory finish with acrylic latex paint. ExpertFinish Lap also features a proprietary joint that helps you avoid the need for seam caulking, joint molds, or pan flashing.

The Diamond Kote pre-finish is an advanced paint technology, that uses metal oxide colorants extracted from rocks so your siding colors don’t fade over time. Diamond Kote’s siding system is backed by a 30-year no fade warranty so you can feel confident in your investment, no matter the color you choose.Siding
