LP Trim & Fascia — Tacoma & Puget Sound

LP SmartSide Trim & Fascia Installation.

LP SmartSide trim is engineered wood: lighter than fiber cement, easier to cut cleanly, and treated against rot and termites. It pairs naturally with LP siding and installs faster, which can lower labor cost.

LP SmartSide trim is the natural finish piece for any LP SmartSide siding install — same engineered substrate, same factory-treated moisture resistance, same long warranty. It is also a popular trim choice on Hardie and cedar installs because of its strength and value.

Why homeowners choose it

Why LP Trim makes sense for PNW homes.

Engineered for moisture.

Same zinc-borate and resin-binder treatment as LP SmartSide siding. Will not rot or swell like raw wood trim.

Pre-finished options.

Available pre-painted from the factory in a wide color range — or paint-ready for custom colors.

Strong and stable.

Holds fasteners well, resists splitting at corners, and stays straight in PNW humidity.

Cost-effective.

Less expensive than real cedar or fiber cement trim while delivering similar visual depth.
