LP Board and Batten is one choice for your building's siding at Pine Creek Structures. But what is it? Let us explain...
Board and batten siding is characterized by vertical siding boards with a narrow piece of board (called battens) placed over the seams. These battens are meant create better weatherproofing by covering any gaps between the boards (especially as natural wood shrinks/expands in the changing weather). This siding originated using natural wood boards. While this type of siding is beautiful with a rustic look, it can require a lot of maintenance to keep it on top condition. To maintain it’s beautiful stained look, it will require staining every few years. You will also have to be diligent about checking for any damage to to age, hail, and pests.
LP Board and Batten siding is the answer to these issues! It offers the look of traditional wood board and batten siding, with the superior strength and durability of LP siding products.
LP siding features a cedar wood texture and can be painted in a variety of colors so your building can match the color of you home or other outbuildings. At Pine Creek Structures, we also offer six polyurethane colors. These polyurethane color options give a 'wood' look to the LP siding.
LP Board and Batten siding is an engineered wood siding product, meaning its is designed for superior durability. LP siding resists moisture because of the advanced binders and wax that are used to treat each wood strand individually. Every panel of LP siding is treated with their SmartGuard® process: a zinc borate-based process to help resist fungal decay and termite damage. LP Building Products tests their sidings in the harsh jungle environment in Hilo, Hawaii with over 170" of rain annually, high humidity, and a large termite population.
