What Is LP Smartside Siding? LP Smartside siding is an engineered wood product designed to offer the warmth and beauty of traditional wood with the durability of modern technology. Unlike standard wood, these panels and laps are treated with the SmartGuard process - which involves zinc borate, resins, and waxes - to prevent fungal decay and termite damage. This makes it an ideal choice for the volatile climate of New England.
The LP Smartside collections offer various textures and profiles, including the ExpertFinish color collection. This factory-prefinished siding comes in a wide array of colors like Snowscape White, Abyss Black, and Quarry Gray, providing a durable finish that resists peeling and fading. Whether you prefer the look of cedar grain or a smooth finish, this siding delivers a high-end aesthetic for any
local lumberyard customer.
Frequently Asked Questions About LP Smartside Siding:
- Is LP Smartside siding expensive? While the initial cost may be higher than vinyl, it is generally more affordable than fiber cement or natural premium hardwoods. Its long-term value is high because of its reduced labor costs during installation and low maintenance requirements.
- How long will LP SmartSide last? When installed correctly, LP Smartside is designed to last for decades. LP offers a 5/50-year limited warranty, which provides a 5-year, 100% labor and material replacement period followed by a 50-year prorated limited warranty on the product substrate.
- Is LP siding waterproof? While no wood-based product is entirely waterproof, LP siding is highly water-resistant. The resins and waxes used in the SmartGuard process coat every wood strand to ensure the material resists moisture infiltration and swelling better than traditional wood.
- Is LP siding termite resistant? Yes. The zinc borate treatment used throughout the manufacturing process is safe for humans and pets but effectively resists termites and fungal decay.
- How often does LP Smartside need to be painted? If you choose the ExpertFinish factory-applied color, the paint is exceptionally durable. For field-painted LP Smartside, you can typically expect to repaint every 7 to 10 years, depending on the exposure to harsh New England weather.
- What lengths does LP Smartside come in? LP Smartside lap siding typically comes in 16-ft lengths. This longer length compared to the standard 12-ft boards often results in fewer seams on your home, creating a cleaner look and faster installation at your local building supply site.
- Can I use LP Smartside for trim and soffits? Absolutely. LP offers matching trim and soffit panels in various thicknesses and widths, such as 4-in or 6-in widths, to provide a cohesive, finished look for your entire exterior. You can find these accessories in our all products section.
- How does it handle impact from hail or golf balls? LP Smartside is significantly more impact-resistant than vinyl or fiber cement. It is tested to withstand impact from common projectiles, making it a rugged choice for homes near golf courses or areas prone to hailstorms.
