Are you a builder or remodeler who is considering the use of a new siding material? Durability is likely a top concern as you evaluate any product line. We invite you to consider the durability of LP® SmartSide® siding, which is treated to the core with the LP® SmartGuard® process. The result is an engineered durable wood material that resists damage from termites and fungal decay. LP SmartSide siding also resists hail and impact damage better than fiber cement and vinyl siding, so it's able to stand up to harsh weather in almost any climate. In short, it's one of the most durable siding solutions available on the market today.“The durability of LP SmartSide products is a huge win!” says Sonja Garnett of ABC Roofing Company in Avon, Indiana. “Fiber cement often requires two or three people to carry it because it may break. If a piece breaks in transition, this causes more waste, time and money when your crew has to make a material run or you have to over-order, knowing this may be the case.”
