Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Match trim width to window and door casings: 6 in. suits standard openings, while 8 in. and 12 in. boards work for frieze boards, corner boards and band trim. Keep boards primed on all cut edges and gaps sealed with exterior caulk to maintain moisture protection. The 16 ft length reduces butt joints on most wall runs, producing a cleaner look.
Follow LP installation guidelines and local building codes, and use appropriate fall protection and cutting precautions when working with trim boards.
Order LP SmartSide 550 Series Smooth Trim Board in 6, 8 or 12 in. widths for a clean, primed exterior trim solution.
