LP® SmartSide®
LP SmartSide siding and exterior trim is one tough product. To protect 1.5 million homes from the elements, it has to be. Look at how tough it is.
Welcome to Hilo, Hawaii—a long ways from the Two Harbors, Minnesota plant where LP SmartSide is born from aspen wood and resins. Hilo gets 160” of rainfall every year, and is home to the meanest wood-eating termites on the planet: the Formosan Termite. Perfect for testing LP SmartSide. After all, if it can handle these conditions, it should handle yours.
Strenuous third-party testing shows LP SmartSide stands up to tough conditions. Test samples in Hilo have held up under the intense exposure of this unforgiving environment since 1996, resisting fungi growth and persistent termites. Talk about tough. That’s why we’re not afraid to offer the LP SmartSide 5/50 Limited Warranty, our fully transferable limited warranty, covering rot, buckling, termite damage and surface overlay defects. That says a lot.
What keeps termites and weather at bay? The secret is the SmartGuard process, our own zinc borate and advanced resin based treatment that makes the oriented strand core of LP SmartSide so solid. On top, we put our signature deep cedar texture overlay, and then we make sure the uncovered edges get just as much attention. Even they get a layer of our special moisture-resistant coating.
Finally, before it ships out—whether it’s headed to Hilo or Houston—each and every LP SmartSide piece goes through our rigorous quality control process before it leaves our hands.
