What is LP SmartSide

LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding made from treated wood strands bonded together with resins and waxes.

The proprietary SmartGuard manufacturing process integrates zinc borate throughout the material, providing protection against fungal decay, rot, and termites. The result is siding with the warmth and workability of wood but with far superior durability.

Unlike fiber cement, LP SmartSide is lightweight and won’t crack or shatter upon impact. Unlike vinyl, it provides the authentic texture and depth of real wood siding.

Benefits of LP SmartSide

Authentic Wood Aesthetics: LP SmartSide delivers the genuine look and feel of wood siding. The deep cedar grain texture creates natural shadow lines and visual interest that complements the 1970s split-levels, ranches, Craftsman homes, and historic properties found in Monticello neighborhoods. Available colors and finishes coordinate with any architectural style.
Advanced Durability: LP SmartSide resists the problems that plague traditional wood siding. The SmartGuard process protects against moisture damage, rot, fungal decay, and termite infestation. Impact testing shows LP SmartSide withstands hail and debris impacts that crack fiber cement.
Workability: LP SmartSide cuts, drills, and fastens like wood, allowing precision fitting around windows, doors, and architectural details. Its consistent composition means no knots, splits, or weak spots that affect natural wood.

How Minnesota Weather Affects LP SmartSide Siding

LP SmartSide is engineered to handle Monticello’s climate challenges:

Moisture resistance: The SmartGuard process and overlay protect against moisture infiltration that causes rot in traditional wood.
Freeze-thaw stability: LP SmartSide expands and contracts predictably without cracking or warping through Minnesota’s temperature extremes.
Hail resistance: The engineered wood substrate absorbs impact without cracking, unlike fiber cement which can shatter.
Paintability: LP SmartSide accepts and holds paint well. The textured surface provides good adhesion for long-lasting finishes.

Warranty Protection

LP SmartSide carries one of the strongest warranties in the siding industry:

50-year substrate warranty: Covers the engineered wood core against manufacturing defects, rot, fungal decay, and termite damage.
5-year finish warranty: Covers factory-primed products against peeling, flaking, and blistering.
Workmanship guarantee: Our installation work is guaranteed. Proper installation protects your warranty coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does LP SmartSide compare to James Hardie?
Both are premium siding options. LP SmartSide is lighter, more impact resistant, and easier to work with. James Hardie (fiber cement) is heavier, harder, and non-combustible. Your choice depends on priorities like weight, impact resistance, fire rating, and aesthetic preferences.

Does LP SmartSide need painting?
LP SmartSide comes primed and requires paint after installation. We recommend high-quality exterior acrylic latex paint applied according to LP specifications.

Is LP SmartSide a good choice for Minnesota?
Yes. The SmartGuard process addresses moisture and decay concerns, and the impact resistance handles hail better than some alternatives. Many Minnesota homes perform well with LP SmartSide.

How long does LP SmartSide last?
With proper installation and maintenance, LP SmartSide typically lasts 30+ years. The 50-year substrate warranty reflects manufacturer confidence in long-term durability.
