Fewer joints for a
seamless, clean job

The AZEK Lap Siding System is unlike any other because the 16-foot board lengths, hidden nails hems, and nail hem brackets work together to keeps joints tight and to limit the number of joints needed per wall. Meanwhile the rabbeted trims allow the system to properly float on the wall so those joints can remain tight and never gap like other frustrating lap siding systems.
