Why Should You Consider Diamond Kote® Finished Siding from Weather Tight?

At Weather Tight, we’re known for bringing Southeastern Wisconsin top-of-the-line products for exterior finishes and updates. We work with many well-known vendors who’ve built a strong reputation in the home remodeling space.

One of these vendors known for excellence is LP® SmartSide Siding, who offer Diamond Kote® finished siding—one of the most premium siding options. This engineered wood exterior siding has a beautiful texture and a low-maintenance finish that makes your home attractive and strong.

Feel Confident About Your Exterior Finish

In Southeastern WI’s surrounding areas—Milwaukee, Waukesha, Mequon, and Racine—we get a big helping of Mother Nature. With the beautiful surroundings and greenery comes some harsh winter weather, extreme temperatures, and precipitation.

That moisture can degrade and rot your wooden exterior finish over time. If you have a wooden finish on your house, you likely already know the many requirements for upkeep—scraping, staining, sealing. Keeping the paint from peeling is an annual project that sometimes feels like a full-time job.

At Weather Tight, we offer you the top-performing products on the market. LP® SmartSide’s Diamond Kote® finish gives you the stunning beauty of wood siding without any of the associated hassle and upkeep. This is a product that will leave you feeling confident in the decision to re-side your home and withstand the test of time with a durable finish.

The Diamond Kote® finish is available in a wide range of colors, so you can get the exact look you want for your home. Using the purest metal oxide colorants and advanced paint technology, you get a finish that won’t fade even with destructive ultraviolet sun rays. After all, you want to feel good about the way your home stands out from the rest of the houses in your neighborhood—not because the paint is chipped and the wood looks shabby, but because you have a home that always looks polished, bright, and sharp.

The Advantages of Choosing Diamond Kote® Siding

Why go with Diamond Kote® finish? You get many advantages when you choose this beautiful option for your home. Here are some of the biggest benefits of Diamond Kote®:

Great Impact Resistance

All the types of siding that we carry at Weather Tight deliver high levels of impact resistance. That means wayward baseballs, golf balls, or rocks won’t leave dings and dents. It also means that you don’t have to worry about hail damage to your exterior finish after particularly harsh weather.

Impact-resistant siding is the ideal choice for maximum protection in your home. When you choose an engineered wood product, you’re getting the best of both worlds—attractive, natural-looking siding with a durable, scratch-resistant finish that can stand up to the impacts of everyday bumps, wear, and tear.

Realistic Wood-Grain Texture

A wood finish is beautiful, classic, and timeless. Diamond Kote® finished siding gives you the realistic, beautiful texture you want without the stress of the upkeep of regular wood. The realistic finish looks more natural than most fiber cement products on the market today.

The wood-look siding is proven and time-tested to withstand the harshest elements, from fluctuating temperatures to the sweltering sun and the wettest winter slush. Diamond Kote® has a new look, even years after installation.

Clean Installation

Speaking of installation, Diamond Kote® has up to 33% fewer seams than its siding competitors. Trim and lap siding are available in 16’ lengths. What does that mean for your installation? It means a more seamless finish and more efficient installation.

Joints and seams are always well-installed on a Weather Tight job because we know that moisture can sneak into any cracks and do damage. Still, the fewer joints and seams needed in the siding materials of the project, the better the final appearance of your home. With Diamond Kote®, you get flawless coverage on your home that is truly weather-resistant.

Low Maintenance

Hazard-resistant Diamond Kote® finish helps keep your home beautiful without all the effort, maintenance, and constant paint touch-ups. The finish won’t chalk, peel, fade, or blister.

A Diamond Kote® siding system is scratch-resistant and withstands heavy humidity, fungus, and termites. It’s easy to clean and resists buildup of dirt, dust, and grime. Keep moisture and pests out of your home without the need to get out a ladder, scrap, paint, and patch every few years.

How Diamond Kote® Siding is Made

Diamond Kote® siding starts with a super strong fiber cement substrate, which is sanded and cleaned so the Diamond Kote® finish can be easily applied. A rotating arm gives consistent paint coverage—breaking down the finish into tiny particles that provide a superior bond and immaculate coverage.

The product is then sent through an oven to curate the finish before it is cooled and packaged. The resulting siding product is strong, beautiful, and vibrant.

Diamond Kote® is practically an infallible product. When you invest in your home’s finish, you want products you can trust. Diamond Kote® gives you peace of mind knowing that you’ve chosen an exterior product that improves your home’s curb appeal, safety, and strength.
