What Is LP SmartSide Siding? Everything You Need to Know
LP SmartSide siding is a top alternative to traditional wood, vinyl, and fiber cement siding. Known for its strength, durability, and wide variety of styles, LP siding (stands for Louisiana-Pacific Corporation) is built to handle tough conditions. Constructed from high-performance engineered wood, it gives homes a beautiful, long-lasting exterior.


What Is LP SmartSide Siding Made Of?
LP SmartSide is a type of engineered wood siding, made from wood strands that are treated with waxes and resins for added strength and moisture resistance. These strands are compressed and bonded with strong adhesives to form durable boards.
What makes LP SmartSide siding different is the SmartGuard process. This special treatment coats each wood strand with zinc borate. It helps the siding resist termites and fungal decay.
A water-resistant overlay adds even more protection. This process helps the siding hold up against harsh weather while keeping its structural integrity.
Benefits of LP SmartSide Siding
Choosing LP SmartSide means investing in siding that goes beyond aesthetics. Here are the major features and benefits.
Exceptional Durability
Thanks to the SmartGuard process, LP SmartSide siding resists impact damage, moisture, and insects. Unlike traditional wood siding, it won’t warp or crack over time and can get wet without being damaged.
Variety of Profiles and Textures
LP offers a wide array of options including lap, shake, and smart panel siding options. Whether your home is classic, contemporary, or somewhere in between, there's a product that will match.
Environmentally Friendly
LP SmartSide is made from sustainable wood sources. It uses low-emission materials and creates less waste than many other siding options. It’s a greener choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Ease of Installation
Lightweight yet strong, LP products are faster and easier to install than many alternatives like fiber cement. It cuts like traditional wood, allowing for cleaner siding installations and fewer specialized tools.
Impact Resistant
When tested against hail and flying debris, LP SmartSide outperforms both vinyl and fiber cement. That means better protection for your home.
