Lumber Co-Operator

Simpson Featured in Lumber Co-Operator

The official publication of the Northeastern Retail Lumber Association, Lumber Co-Operator is one of the most widely read magazines by the lumber and building material industry in the Northeast. If you received a copy of their May/June issue, you’ll notice that Simpson Door Company’s “Paint It Black” factory offering was highlighted in its annual Window & Door product showcase. And for good reason! This new performance solution makes it possible for customers to paint an exterior door black or any dark color while keeping its full warranty intact (with no overhang required).

Until now, this design trend posed a challenge because of the Light Reflective Value (LRV) associated with dark paint colors. Most dark-painted surfaces, whether wood, fiberglass or PVC, absorb more heat than lighter colors, which can cause components to move and deteriorate after long-term exposure to the sun’s damaging UV rays. But with Simpson’s latest design solution, customers can show off their personal style and elevate their home’s entryway without sacrificing the exceptional craftsmanship or warranty protection they expect from Simpson.
