Engineered for moisture.
Same zinc-borate and resin-binder treatment as LP SmartSide siding. Will not rot or swell like raw wood trim.
LP Trim & Fascia — Tacoma & Puget Sound
LP SmartSide Trim & Fascia Installation.
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.
What it looks like
Engineered wood trim — material and on a home.
Engineered wood trim — close-up
LP SmartSide-style engineered wood trim board, factory-primed and treated for moisture, mold, and termites. Lighter than cement, paints crisp.
Two-story home — engineered wood trim with shutters

Why homeowners choose it
Why LP Trim makes sense for PNW homes.
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.
