Siding is a critical exterior component of homes and commercial buildings. It offers protection from extreme weather conditions and is responsible for keeping the interior comfortable. For homes to have advanced durability and longer lasting beauty, premier manufacturing company LP® introduced LP SmartSide® siding products, which feature engineered wood strand technology and are protected by the manufacturing process called SmartGuard®.
LP SmartSide products are some of the most durable and visually appealing siding solutions available on the market today. They are designed to last for a long time and come with a variety of prefinished colors to help homeowners style up their properties. From lap siding and shakes to trim, fascia and soffit – these siding solutions can complement just about any home style.
Some of these products are also lighter in weight and come lengths up to 16 feet. These qualities result in fewer seams on your siding, leading to less waste on the job site. These products are also backed by the industry-leading 5/50-year limited warranty.
The SmartGuard manufacturing process combines sound engineering and advanced materials to produce engineered wood that is used in LP SmartSide products. Here are the four components of SmartGuard:
1. Waxes: Each fiber of wood is coated with special water-resistant waxes to promote enhanced durability during rainy and humid seasons.
2. Advanced binders: SmartSide trim and siding products utilize industrial-grade binders and resins, which give them the ability to resist impact damage.
3. Zinc borate: Engineered wood products are treated with zinc borate to effectively resist damage from termites and fungal decay for decades. This additive is safe for children and pets.
3. Resin-saturated overlay: A resin-saturated overlay is the finishing touch of engineered wood products. It offers resistance to moisture intrusion while maintaining its base for paint adhesion.
