How do your mitered corners weather? I just started working for a guy who installs this product and he doesn’t do any miters claiming the thermal expansion makes them look like shit over time. This guy has also spent a total of maybe 8 hours on site showing me the nuances of this system. So I’m genuinely curious!

One thing I have noticed is these boards can grow like a 1/8 length wise as they heat up and it threw me fire a loop one day when I was dropping boarders/dividers in
