Advantage Plus Siding & Trim

Made from Radiata Pine that’s been kiln dried with defects removed prior to finger-joining. Advantage Plus products are then pressure treated to prevent rot and termite attack with an EPA approved non-corrosive LOSO treat, which also makes them safer to handle. Once treated, two coats of factory applied latex primer creates a smooth working surface prior to painting.

Our shingles are precisely milled and refined in appearance.
