Curating Your Home's Exterior
Siding is the outer cladding of your house, meant to shed water and protect from weather. Beyond protection, it is a key element in the aesthetic beauty of the structure and directly influences property value.
The Challenge of Nature
Since building materials expand and contract with changing temperature and humidity, rigid joints are not practical. We use overlapping and interlocking joints (like tongue-and-groove) to prevent wind and rain infiltration.
