LP Smartside Siding offers a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering, giving homes the warmth and beauty of natural wood without its weaknesses. Made from engineered wood treated with LP’s SmartGuard process, this siding provides superior resistance to rot, insects, and harsh weather. The result is a long-lasting, durable exterior that retains its beauty year after year.
LP Smartside Siding is also praised for its flexibility in design. It comes in a variety of styles, from smooth lap siding to textured panels that mimic the grain of natural wood. This allows homeowners to achieve a sophisticated and polished exterior that fits seamlessly with their home’s architecture. Because it’s lighter than fiber cement, it can also be installed more easily, reducing labor costs.
Additionally, LP Smartside Siding is designed for regions that experience a wide range of weather conditions, from freezing winters to scorching summers. Its resistance to swelling, warping, and cracking makes it one of the more reliable options for long-term durability in harsh environments.
