Bringing together sustainability and
attainability, LP's home siding product was selected for Clayton's
manufactured home built to Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready
Home™ Specifications
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 19, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading
manufacturer of high-performance building products, is proud to
announce that LP® SmartSide® Trim &
Siding was featured on the model home presented by Clayton at
the 2023 Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting. Clayton, a
national builder of attainable housing and a Berkshire Hathaway
company, unveiled the manufactured home built to Department of
Energy Zero Energy Ready Home™ specifications and featuring LP
SmartSide panel, trim and lap siding at the Omaha, Nebraska event.
LP SmartSide Trim & Siding products align with Clayton's
efforts to provide attainable homes built with sustainability in
mind. Clayton selected LP SmartSide Trim & Siding due to its
sustainable properties. LP SmartSide products are classified as
carbon-negative exterior cladding products, which means that they
store more carbon than is released through the manufacturing and
product distribution process. LP SmartSide Trim & Siding's
carbon-negative technology starts with sustainable fiber
predominantly harvested from a deciduous hardwood tree called
trembling aspen, which is known for its natural ability to rapidly
regenerate after tree stems are harvested. In the manufacturing
process, LP uses 99% of the fiber harvested in either the products
or as an alternative thermal energy source to offset fossil fuel
consumption, creating very little waste.
"We are incredibly proud of our carbon-negative portfolio of LP
SmartSide Trim & Siding products," said LP Corporate and Siding
Marketing Director Derek Blank. "Our
partnership with Clayton, who shares our commitment to
environmental stewardship, will allow us to strengthen our efforts
as we continue to build a better world. Clayton builds
high-quality, resilient homes that break down the barriers to
affordable housing. We are thrilled for our products to be featured
in their projects and are looking forward to the different ways
this partnership can revolutionize the future of
homebuilding."
Manufacturing responsibly sourced, high-performing and
long-lasting engineered wood-building products is fundamental to
LP's mission. LP products store carbon for generations, making them
the number-one choice for sustainable, energy-efficient building
materials.
LP offers a versatile and durable portfolio of products
engineered to perform and designed to complement almost any
architectural style. SmartSide products are factory primed to allow
builders to paint a home's exterior without having to sand or prime
the siding. Primed siding improves paint adhesion for
longer-lasting exteriors. Furthermore, LP SmartSide engineered wood
products can take on any paint color that suits a home's aesthetic
while maintaining the enhanced durability, workability and easier
maintenance characteristics of all LP products.
Backed by third-party testing, LP SmartSide Trim & Siding
products are a great economic choice for building professionals;
they are lighter in weight, longer and more durable on the jobsite.
Proven to increase the speed of installation by 21% compared to
fiber cement lap siding, LP SmartSide lap siding can save builders
and remodelers time and money.
