Exterior Trim and Siding Options
You will need to focus on both form and function when it comes to choosing your siding. Connecticut experiences cold, windy, and wet weather during the fall, winter, and spring months; your home’s siding will play an important role in protecting and insulating your house against the outside elements. In addition to these protective elements, you want your siding to be beautiful; curb appeal makes a huge difference in your property’s resale value, plus you simply want your home to look nice! Different materials will require different levels of maintenance; if you’re looking at wood siding and trim, for example, pine is more affordable while cedar tends to last longer. We carry a number of siding styles to appeal to your needs and budget. The type of siding you choose will depend on your personal preferences.
At Interstate + Lakeland Lumber, we have everything you need to put the finishing touches on the exterior of your building project. Our exterior siding options include cedar shingles, horizontal bevel cedar clapboards, James Hardi Hardiplank™ or Shingleside™, various cedar patterns for vertical applications, and T1-11 panel siding. Exterior trim is stocked in Versatex™ PVC, primed or clear cedar, primed pine, and composite Smart Trim™. If a custom trim look is desired, our millwork shop can fabricate anything from a drawing out of wood or Versatex™ PVC. We also stock all the accessory products that will make your house weather tight such as house wrap, flashings, or the relatively new Home Slicker™. Whatever your exterior siding and trim needs are, our expert staff is available to help.
Visit our design center to compare colors and styles so you can determine the right look for your home. You can also consult with our millwork shop to decide which trim options work best, or work with us to design a custom trim. Your home will look incredible and be completely sealed against the elements when we’re finished. Contact us today to learn more about our design center!
