Why Siding Installers are Switching To JointFlash™
Flashing the butt joints on James Hardie and LP lap siding is the norm these days. We used to use caulk on every seam, leading to faulty and cracked joints. The durability was inconsistent, and it simply looked terrible.
Now, with most siding installers switching over to flashing behind each butt joint, the overall quality and longevity of exterior siding products has improved. People have been using weatherizing paper products, trim-coil metal, and other specialized flashing products to protect their lap siding. However, there have always been problems with each product.
Why Other Flashing Products Fall Short
• Metal has the possibility of corrosion and is difficult to work with. It cuts up your nail bags, or worse, your hands. It’s heavy, and the price of metal flashing has been steadily rising for years. Even buying bulk trim coil means wasting time cutting each piece individually (to varying degrees of quality).
• With WRB’s (water resistive barriers), the effectiveness is sub-par. None of these products are truly meant for this application, and the labor costs of cutting your own pieces still remain. It’s inconsistent quality and more work.
• More specialized products do the job well, but once again, price becomes an issue—and installation often isn’t much easier.
Why JointFlash™ has been so Successful
That’s why JointFlash™ was created. We’ve had major success in the 15 years the product has been on the market, and for good reason. JointFlash easily beats every other product out there when it comes to installation efficiency and long-term durability. Each year, JointFlash is expanding its reach into new states and regions.
Proven Performance
JointFlash™ is a plastic product, so moisture doesn’t affect it. It was born in the Pacific Northwest—where moisture is everywhere—and has passed every real-world test with ease. We haven’t had a single warranty issue since the product’s release 15 years ago.
Cost-Effective & Easy Install
Not only is JointFlash™ material more cost-effective than metal, it also saves money on labor. Each piece is pre-cut to the recommended sizes for James Hardie® lap siding and LP® lap siding products—no measuring, no field cutting, no wasted time.
Try JointFlash Yourself
These days, it’s a no-brainer to switch over to JointFlash™. We developed it because all the other products were inefficient, ineffective, or frustrating to work with. Send us a message and we’ll ship you free samples. Once you have JointFlash in your hands, you’ll understand why installers nationwide have made the switch.
