Uniquely Durable + Beautiful Siding
Not Your Typical Siding
Our Prairie Village house is a perfect balance of high-performance and high-design. That goes into every aspect of the home: from the sub-slab insulation, the wall thickness, the continuous air barrier, to the ventilated rain screen, and even the siding on the home.
We recently finished installing NewTech Vertical siding over the rain screen on the second floor exterior and a portion of the first floor. This product is unique in that it’s made of a composite material traditionally used for decking. It doesn’t require painting or staining, and is remarkably durable, requires minimal maintenance, touch-ups, and repairs over time.
Wolfgang and his team at Clapper Creations LLC did a fantastic job on the installation.
