@awesomeframers: 2 ways to deal with control joints with @LP BUILDING SOLUTIONS SmartSide. @SashcoInc Lexel is my preference for sealant after talking to @perkinsbuilderbro . The tape idea is from Aaron Miller and a fantastic one. . The 2nd method is my personal preference to reduce maintenance for the owner down the line. . #lpsmartside #longliveourbuildings #buildingscience #siding #skilledtrades
If it’s prefinished the instructions say do NOT caulk butt joints on lp

Or you buy Hardi siding and don’t have to deal with that

Don’t caulk the joint it will cause bowing the siding due to expansion and contraction. Paint the ends before installation and flash behind the joint. 👍

NEVER use that product on walks over 16 feet long .. That's how architects avoid those terrible joints ..Quality builds will not have any but joints with this product or they use anther alternative

Just gotta be careful with your sealant. Some don’t want to be tooled

Another way is we do decorative vertical batons at certain intervals to eliminate joints

Why not just buy vinyl siding, most have lifetime warranty and are cheaper.

this type of siding the warranty is so stringent, if yoy don't do what they ask of you in the warranty it voided, and it's voided very easily,
