What We Offer
At Minnesota Rusco, homeowners have the option of LP® Smartside® or insulated vinyl siding. Each siding choice requires little maintenance and improves energy efficiency, making it cost-effective.
LP® Smartside®
LP® Smartside® is an engineered wood siding that combines the attractive appearance of natural wood with the durability of manufactured materials. At Minnesota Rusco, our LP® Smartside® siding is made in America from fast-growing aspen trees. The wood from these trees is treated with waxes, resins, and zinc borate, resulting in a siding product with superior resilience. Engineered wood strand technology gives LP® Smartside® the beautiful likeness of cedar and redwood.
LP® Smartside® siding gives protection from moisture, fungal decay, and termites. It withstands harsh weather conditions, including hail and wind gusts of up to 200 mph. The house siding panels, about 7/16’’ thick, resist buckling, cracking, peeling, and chipping. For this reason, they are a popular choice for homeowners who love natural wood but are deterred by the material’s high maintenance requirements and potential for damage.
If you decide on Minnesota Rusco’s LP® Smartside® for your new siding, you’ll have a variety of different colors to choose from. Our siding installation professionals will prime your beautiful new siding and apply the paint in a controlled environment.
Premium Insulated Vinyl Siding
Insulated Vinyl Siding is a thick, more durable, and energy-efficient alternative to wood and standard types of vinyl siding. Our Premium Insulated Vinyl Siding is made from high-quality vinyl that requires less maintenance than wood while offering the appearance of real wood.
It has a patented mid-panel lock design that keeps the panels attached tightly to the wall. This increases the product’s rigidity, preventing warping from harsh elements in various climates.
An expandable polystyrene foam backing blocks air infiltration through the walls, lowering your energy bills in every season. This eco-friendly layer also prevents termites and allows the home’s exterior to breathe, warding off mildew. Additionally, the backing offers impact protection from backyard sporting games and extreme weather.
Our Premium Insulated Vinyl Siding comes in a variety of colors to personalize your home. Enjoy the look of wood with minimal upkeep and maximum durability.
