1. Engineered Wood Material
LP SmartSide siding is made from engineered wood, treated with a proprietary process called SmartGuard®. This includes the following layers of protection:
- Zinc Borate: Protects against termites and fungal decay.
- Resin-based Binders: Adds strength and weather resistance.
- Overlay: Enhances resistance to moisture and physical damage.
2. Resistance to Moisture
The SmartGuard treatment ensures the siding resists moisture-related problems like warping, swelling, and delamination, making it suitable for areas with varying weather conditions.
3. Impact Resistance
LP SmartSide siding is highly impact-resistant and can withstand hail and debris better than some other siding materials, such as traditional wood or fiber cement.
4. Longevity
- Manufacturers often provide warranties of up to 50 years for the siding, showing confidence in its durability.
- Proper installation and maintenance can help the siding last for several decades.
