LP SmartSide Trim and Siding launched a new website (lpsmartside.com) for those seeking creative ideas for home siding. The site is designed to provide inspiration and relevant information in an easy-to-use format so that builders can use it to educate buyers. It features galleries of different styles, detailed project information, and videos. The home visualizer creates renderings of homes with combinations of lap, trim, soffit, shakes, panel, finishes, and colors. A central hub of information for builders contains details about LP SmartSide products with access to product descriptions, specs, and key benefit data.
Mainstays—stucco, vinyl, and fiber-cement—are sticking around, with a host of new siding products added to the mix offering fresh takes on durability, performance, and aesthetics
