There are many benefits of using RigidStack siding. It is impact-resistant and extremely strong, withstanding hail up to 1.75 inches in diameter.
RigidStack™ installs beautifully and there are multiple benefits of using RigidStack™ siding.
When crews don’t use RigidStack™, even on quality installs, you will see that siding crews require face nails on occasion. The most common area requiring face nails are in gables where the siding is cut at an angle leaving the bottom edge in a triangular shape and unsecured. On the top, the nail is 3/4 of an inch from the top of the board and the rest of the board is flopping around. It’s not secured to anything. This is a problem for leakage and stability.
RigidStack™ ensures none of these issues are ever possible and ensures boards are secured both at the top with a nail and at the bottom to the next board with the RigidStack™ fin. With all the benefits of using RigidStack siding on your home, we highly recommend it. At HRTI, we are big believers in RigidStack™ by LP® SmartSide® with DiamondKote® finish and it shows in our installs.
