Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

The 6 in profile suits tighter elevations, gable ends and designs seeking finer coursing, while weighing less per piece than the 8 in panel. Maintain the manufacturer's required lap exposure and clearances per LP's installation instructions and local code. Use compatible LP trim and approved fasteners to maintain system performance. Timberland Suede is a warm earth-tone that pairs well with wood-toned and white trim.

Handle and cut engineered wood siding with appropriate eye and hearing protection and follow LP's cutting and fastening instructions and local building codes.
