At some point, the conversation needs to shift from the general contractor to the people who actually manufacture and supply the barndominium and steel siding and roofing materials — and that conversation is worth having earlier than most first-time builders think to have it.

Inspire™, TrueLap™, Board & Batten working together. You don't have to choose just one pairing — Inspire™, TrueLap™, and Board and Batten can all show up on the same exterior when each one is given its own clear role.

TrueLap™ is engineered to bring the refined, familiar aesthetic of traditional lap siding to homes, while replacing every vulnerability of wood with the strength of American steel. With a generous 10" net coverage panel, TrueLap™ creates the bold, horizontal shadow lines that give lap siding its character, scaled up for maximum visual impact and installation efficiency.
