Well....when I got it...there WAS no color. I assume now the color goes through it totally??
Wow. Did not know that.
NO CRACKS or splits. Know not one person who has that has that issue.
No...not extra work. The drill works. Yes weighty..but not prohibitive. Two fellas installed it. ..good thing- it butts up real nice and with the long lengths..hardly any cutting. Caulk lines when unavoidable are TIGHT. No waves like hardboard. No puffing, expansion, rot when wet like hardboard or wood . Truly, I am a monster when unhappy...this stuff is good.
Few years later I did shed in the big pieces 4 x 8 ?? They are great too.
Talk to a contractor. I think complaints depend on the quality of the install.
