Lp smartside prefinished siding reviews.
Lp smartside is a great product that i have yet to find a single failure on but i find installation errors on nearly every home i inspect.
What we don t like durability.
While some users have found lp durable many tend to disagree.
It is prone to flaking and the susceptibility to rot is high.
Their intent was to sell me the lp smart siding and trim.
The wood strands are then fed through a mixing mechanism whereby all surfaces of the wood chips are coated with a mixture of waxes resins and zinc.
Installing lp smartside siding is pretty easy and it requires nothing more than the usual woodworking tools.
When i first saw lp smartside i was pretty skeptical of an osb siding product based on the history.
Lp smartside products are very popular and they re some of the most durable siding solutions available especially compared to other wood siding products.
If you pour water on the back side of each product it will absorb into the hardie while staying beaded up on the smartside.
Lp uses its own smartguard process to add a layer of protection to their engineered wood products.
Homeowners with no prior installation knowledge can easily master the art.
