🚧 Constantly Learning. Always Improving.
The Weathershield Construction team recently traveled to Orlando for the 2025 Southeastern Builders Conference (SEBC) — where top manufacturers and innovators showcase what’s next in residential construction.
As always, we came back energized and inspired to bring the latest, most resilient products to our customers. Our mission? To deliver home exteriors that are Florida-tough, design-forward, and built to last.
Here are three standout products we’re excited to bring into future projects:
🧱 1. LP® SmartSide Lap Siding – Brushed Smooth Finish
The newest brushed smooth finish from LP SmartSide combines modern curb appeal with unmatched performance. It’s lightweight, visually clean, and engineered to thrive in Florida’s harsh climate.
Why We Recommend It:
-
Resists moisture, termites, and fungal decay
-
Installs faster than fiber cement
-
Lighter weight = easier handling
-
Backed by a 50-year limited warranty
It gives the appearance of freshly painted wood with none of the upkeep.
🪟 2. PGT Preferred View Sliding Glass Door
We’re longtime fans of PGT, and their new Preferred View vinyl impact sliding door blew us away. With narrow site lines and maximum glass exposure, it offers light-filled interiors while staying storm-strong.
Why It’s Great for Florida Homes:
-
Built for HVHZ zones (like coastal Florida)
-
Low-maintenance vinyl frame
-
Smooth operation and energy efficiency
-
Multiple panel and finish configurations
🚪 3. Handcrafted Iron Doors – Custom Impact Protection with Style
One of the most unique products we saw came from Handcrafted Iron Doors. These fully impact-rated wrought iron entry doors are nothing short of spectacular.
Whether your style is traditional, contemporary, or bold, their designs elevate any front elevation while meeting Florida’s hurricane codes.
What Makes Them Exceptional:
-
Full impact certification
-
Elegant, ornate, or modern ironwork
-
Customizable thermal and decorative glass
-
Ideal for luxury and coastal homes
