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.

Diamond Kote® Siding utilizes LP® SmartSide®, engineered with a SmartGuard® process, making it highly durable against extreme climates and conditions.
The siding is composed of wooden strands bonded with resin, enhancing its resistance to rot, decay, and insects. Diamond Kote® applies a pre-finished layer to LP® SmartSide®. This offers additional protection with a finish that resists fading, moisture damage, cracking, and peeling, combining advanced wood composite technology and innovative color stability.
It’s typically not recommended to paint over Diamond Kote® Siding. It’s designed to be low-maintenance with a durable, long-lasting color finish.
