Revestimiento de madera de ingeniería en desarrollos multifamiliares

El revestimiento de madera de ingeniería se ha considerado durante mucho tiempo un producto para exteriores confiable para viviendas unifamiliares, pero a menudo se pasa por alto para la construcción multifamiliar y comercial. Los productos LP® SmartSide® son lo suficientemente versátiles para una gama de construcciones más allá de las viviendas unifamiliares tradicionales. Take a look at the homes featured in Madison Parade of Homes for siding inspiration and to see how LP SmartSide Trim & Siding might suit your building needs.

How to Create Visual Interest for Multifamily Developments

LP SmartSide products are versatile by nature, designed to complement a variety of textures and give you the flexibility your project requires. There are a variety of ways to create dimension for multifamily structures and add interest to your build.

1. Combine different materials.

Consider designating panel or vertical siding to one area of the exterior, such as balconies, and use lap siding for the rest of the structure. This will help to break up the structure visually for a more dynamic look. Adding stone or brick to the base of your build is also a great way to add dimension and complement engineered wood siding.

2. Use color as a visual separator.

Another way to add interest to a structure such as an apartment complex or duplex is alternating the color of siding to section the space visually. Choose from a variety of LP SmartSide ExpertFinish® colors and remove painting time, or opt for primed siding to pair with your custom paint color.

3. Add contrasting trim.

For even more interest, add contrasting trim to windows and roofs. Choosing siding and trim colors that complement each other is key to a seamless look. This can be accomplished with different shades of the same color or something slightly more extreme such as ExpertFinish trim in Snowscape White on a darker exterior, such as Rapids Blue.

Longer-Lasting Durability

When choosing materials for your next commercial or multifamily structure, reliability and durability are of utmost importance. Opting for durable, sturdy products that require little maintenance can help you maintain the longevity of your builds. LP SmartSide Trim & Siding is treated with the SmartGuard® process, and its four components of protection add strength. The process also helps LP SmartSide Trim & Siding withstand impacts, freeze/thaw cycles and high humidity while resisting fungal decay, making it one of the most durable siding solutions on the market.

Though perhaps not traditionally considered a go-to material for multifamily structures, the versatility and durability of LP SmartSide products make them a great solution for a variety of builds.
