Durable Siding Solutions

Your home needs protection from the weather. LP SmartSide siding is a strong choice that resists moisture damage, keeping your home beautiful and safe. LP SmartSide siding in Vancouver is made to handle the local climate’s challenges.

With its smart design, LP SmartSide siding gives you a long-lasting exterior that improves curb appeal. Our team at Paragon Exteriors focuses on installation, making sure it fits your home’s style perfectly.

Why It Matters in West End

In West End, the weather can be tough on outside surfaces. Picking the right siding is important for keeping your home’s structure and look. West End homeowners enjoy the strength and low maintenance of LP SmartSide.

Choosing quality siding not only protects your home but also increases its value. Paragon Exteriors is here to help you find the best options for your property, ensuring it stays strong against the weather.

Installation of SmartSide Siding

LP SmartSide is a type of engineered wood made from aspen strands. These strands are coated with resin binders and zinc borate, which helps resist decay and insect damage in West End’s humid climate. The strands are pressed into panels or lap boards, creating a strong material that changes less with humidity than regular cedar siding.

For homes in West End, we start by removing the old siding to check the sheathing. Then, we wrap the walls with a breathable water-resistive barrier. Our team fastens SmartSide using stainless steel nails, back-priming all cuts to seal the edges. We leave a 3 mm gap at butt joints and a 150 mm clearance from the ground to prevent water from splashing up, while caulking around trim blocks to keep out rain.

Managing Moisture Effectively

In West End, the wall system is designed to drain and vent moisture. The siding serves as the main rain screen, while a hidden drainage plane helps manage any moisture that gets through. We often install LP SmartSide over vertical furring strips to create a gap that allows air to circulate and helps the back of the siding dry evenly, reducing the risk of rot.

We also use flashing to manage moisture at openings. Head flashings with bent edges direct water away, while sill pan flashings under windows stop water from pooling and soaking into the wall. At corners, we use two-piece flashing behind the siding trim to ensure that water flows out without reaching the sheathing. This setup is designed for West End’s long wet seasons, minimizing reliance on caulk.

Vancouver Siding Bylaws

Construction noise for LP SmartSide siding work on West End homes is allowed Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 8pm, Saturday from 10am to 8pm, and not on Sundays or holidays. Work outside those hours needs a noise by-law exception permit. The Noise Control By-law No. 6555 limits construction noise to 85 dBA measured at the nearest property line.

A building permit is usually not needed for LP SmartSide siding replacement on one- and two-family homes and low-rise multi-family buildings when there is no structural change or repair to the structural frame, including wall sheathing, and no fire-resistive construction requirement applies.

For siding work on homes, construction noise in residential areas is allowed only during the City’s permitted hours; outside those hours, a noise by-law exception permit is required.

Local School Project

A local school in West End had aging wood siding that allowed moisture and drafts into several buildings. We solved this problem by installing LP SmartSide in phases, working around their daily schedule. We coordinated closely with their staff to keep the campus safe and operational. Now, their buildings are tighter and better protected from coastal weather, and they no longer worry about hidden rot.
