Diamond Kote is a prefinished coating system applied to LP SmartSide engineered wood at the factory rather than on site. That controlled application is what allows the 30-year no-fade warranty, which field-applied paint cannot match.
GS Exterior Experts installs Diamond Kote across the Denver metro.
Diamond Kote Siding replacement in Denver is a great long-term investment.
The finish is cured under controlled conditions rather than brushed on in the field, so there is no repaint cycle to plan for. Periodic washing is all it asks.
Diamond Kote backs the finish for 30 years against fading, and LP's substrate warranty covers hail damage up to 1.75 inches in diameter. At Colorado's altitude, where UV breaks finishes down faster than at sea level, a fade warranty of that length is worth having.
The substrate is wood-based, so it comes from a renewable resource rather than a petrochemical or quarried one. Ask us for LP's current environmental documentation if that matters to your decision.
Diamond Kote offers a wide variety of siding options to suit your design preferences.
Prefinished siding has to be handled differently from field-painted material. The finish is already on when it arrives, so cuts need sealing with the matching touch-up, panels have to be handled without scuffing, and the fastening has to be right first time because there is no repaint to hide a mistake.
We install accordingly, and we will walk you through the colour range before you commit rather than after.
Two warranties apply to a Diamond Kote job: Diamond Kote’s 30-year no-fade coverage on the finish, and ours on the installation. We provide the terms of both before work begins.
RECOMMENDED: Two separate warranties apply. Diamond Kote backs the factory-applied finish for 30 years against fading. LP SmartSide backs the substrate underneath it with its 5/50 limited warranty, five years at full labor and material, then prorated through year fifty, which also covers hail damage up to 1.75 inches in diameter. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation itself. See Diamond Kote’s warranty terms for the full conditions for the finish.
Diamond Kote siding uses LP SmartSide engineered wood as its substrate. Diamond Kote applies the factory-finished coating system that provides the product’s color and fade protection.
Diamond Kote siding can require specific preparation and approved coatings if it is repainted, so homeowners should review the manufacturer’s current instructions before applying paint.
