Resistance to Salt Water 

Pura® NFC by Trespa  Stands Up to Salt Water at Oceanfront Washington Home

Located 30 miles north of Seattle, Washington is the town of Clinton. Located at the entrance of Whidbey Island, Clinton is a historical community accessible by ferry. When building a new client’s oceanfront home on the island, Smokey McClure, co-owner of McClure Custom Homes, decided to do extensive research. He needed to find exterior products that could hold up to the elements, particularly the frequent exposure to salt water. The home would need a low maintenance, highly durable siding solution. In partnership with the architect, the McClure Custom Homes team discovered Pura® NFC by Trespa online.

The goal was to build a legacy home that would last for generations. Smokey had an understanding of how Pura® NFC siding is fabricated but had never previously worked with the product. He appreciated its durability given the location of the property. The client selected Pura® NFC in Royal Mahogany (#PU04). Smokey’s team paid extra attention to detail. “Once we defined the placement of the furring strips to match up with plank length and clip placement next to doors and windows, the installation went well.”

Completed in 2019, Smokey said that the clients love their new home. “They like how easily it cleans up, and how the color has not faded at all,” according to Smokey. “[I am] proud that I have a client that loves what we have created and has now become a good friend.”
