LP SmartSide: A Closer Look

Siding Installation in roseville mn

What LP SmartSide Actually Is

A wood strand product treated with resins and zinc borate for moisture and pest resistance, engineered to deliver the look of traditional wood siding without the same maintenance burden that comes with real wood.

Why Homeowners Choose It

It offers a warmer, more traditional appearance than vinyl at a lighter weight and easier install than fiber cement, appealing to homeowners who want the wood look with less long term upkeep than natural wood requires.

What to Watch at Seams and Cut Edges

While more moisture resistant than traditional wood, LP SmartSide still requires careful moisture management at seams and cut edges during installation, which is a detail worth confirming your installer handles correctly.

How It Compares to Fiber Cement

LP SmartSide is lighter and generally easier to install than fiber cement, though fiber cement typically offers greater impact resistance and an even longer service life.
