Product/Collection Name: Nichiha VintageWood Smooth

About This Product: VintageWood Smooth extends Nichiha USA's best-selling Wood Series of fiber cement siding, allowing architects and designers to pair a classic look with contemporary architecture. Where VintageWood's signature profile delivers refined wood character, VintageWood Smooth trades that texture for clean lines and deep shadow reveals without sacrificing signature Architectural Wall Panel (AWP) performance. The result is a versatile cladding solution that bridges traditional and modern styles seamlessly.

Built from fiber cement, VintageWood Smooth will not warp, rot, crack or require repainting, and resists fire, wind and pests across every climate. A built-in rainscreen system manages moisture and airflow behind the panel year-round, while the Ultimate Clip installation system attaches panels to a hidden track without mortar and exposed fasteners, cutting labor time well below traditional siding or masonry.

Nichiha's Color Xpressions program allows architects and designers to specify virtually any color from just a swatch, with Nichiha coordinating a sample for approval before the order is finalized. That range turns VintageWood Smooth into a match-anything cladding system rather than a fixed palette, letting a single product accent a glass-and-metal commercial facade on one project and anchor a warm, monochrome residential exterior on the next.

VintageWood Smooth installs horizontally, vertically, on soffits and on angled walls, giving architects and builders one product for an entire building envelope instead of a patchwork of materials. And because Nichiha's AWP system performs equally well indoors, VintageWood Smooth carries its exterior aesthetic inside, too: feature walls, lobbies, and accent applications that bring the same grooved, shadow-lined look into interior spaces without a different spec, installer or maintenance plan. Few cladding products move from commercial to residential and exterior to interior on the same panel and installation system.

For more than 25 years, Nichiha USA has provided architects, designers, owners, and developers with resilient, durable, versatile cladding options that achieve design precision like never before. For specifiers in search of a clean, complementary aesthetic, VintageWood Smooth resolves the usual tension between design flexibility and long-term performance: a fiber cement panel with the deep shadow lines of premium siding, a color range unrestricted by a factory palette, and the durability to perform for decades with no sealing, staining or repainting.
