A NATURAL DEFENSE AGAINST NATURE
All LP
®
SmartSide
®
products are treated to the core through our proprietary SmartGuard
®
process. With four
components of protection, the SmartGuard process adds strength and helps LP SmartSide products withstand
impacts, freeze/thaw cycles, high humidity, fungal decay and more.

BECAUSE STRENGTH
IS MAKE OR BREAK
FOUR COMPONENTS OF PROTECTION
LP’s proprietary SmartGuard
®
manufacturing process ensures that every
LP SmartSide Trim & Siding product is treated with an advanced formula of
adhesive resins, water-resistant waxes and zinc borate, after which a water-
resistant, resin-saturated overlay is bonded to the product. The result: four
components of protection against water damage, termites and fungal decay.
Vinyl
OUTSTANDING IMPACT
RESISTANCE
Testing shows that LP SmartSide
strand products resist impact
better than vinyl and fiber cement
siding, which means they can stand
up better against everything from
everyday bumps to airborne storm
debris. And because it doesn't
break as easily as fiber cement
siding, LP SmartSide strand siding
is also easier to handle and install,
and results in less waste.
RESISTANCE TO
FUNGAL DECAY
AND TERMITES
Since 1996, LP SmartSide strand
substrate siding has undergone
brutal testing in Hilo, Hawaii. An
average temperature of more than
70 degrees, high levels of humidity,
and almost 170 inches of annual
rainfall make Hilo’s climate the
perfect breeding ground for termites,
moisture and fungal decay. Yet our
Exterior Exposure Program continues
to validate that LP SmartSide siding
performs over time.
HAIL AND WIND
RESISTANCE
Third-party test results
demonstrate that LP SmartSide
lap siding resisted hail damage
better than fiber cement and
vinyl. In fact, the LP SmartSide
warranty covers impacts from
hail up to 1.75˝ in diameter. LP
SmartSide lap siding is also
designed to withstand tough
storms with wind gusts of up to
200 miles per hour. Refer to
ESR-1301, Table 2B, Lap Siding.
