Miratec trim board

| Posted in Construction Techniques on

Any opinions on Miratec trim (or any thing else) to replace 1x exterior trim? Live on the mid- Atlantic coast, will be painted with Behr prem.-plus. How rigid is it compared to wood…don’t want anything too “floppy” (such as hardie board) Thanks jk
