If you love the clean lines of modern design but still want a home that feels warm and inviting, LP® SmartSide® Nickel Gap siding offers a great balance. With its unique spacing detail and subtle shadow lines, Nickel Gap siding brings an aesthetic interest to any exterior without overwhelming the overall look.
Whether you are building new or refreshing your current home, here’s how LP® SmartSide® Nickel Gap siding can transform your curb appeal.
What is LP® SmartSide® Nickel Gap Siding?
Nickel Gap siding gets its name from the small, consistent spacing between panels - about the thickness of a nickel. Locking flanges with a fastener groove hides nails and allows boards to be stacked and tapped into place. The intentional gap creates crisp and linear lines that add depth and dimension to your exterior.

16-foot lengths
Cedar Texture and Brushed Smooth profiles
16 LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® colors
6 LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Naturals Collection™ colors
Primed (unpainted)
Can be installed horizontally or vertically
