12 Benefits of LP Smartside Trim & Siding
Exterior work, including roofing or siding, isn’t a cheap and simple fix, and the investment should give you lasting results. When working on your next exterior project, choose a trusted roofing contractor and the best available products. Trinity Exteriors highly recommends LP Smartside Trim and Siding.
LP SmartSide is the biggest brand name in engineered wood siding. Standard wood siding may naturally be more prone to impact and infestation if not properly treated, but LP SmartSide products resist these problems through the company’s patented SmartGuard Technology.
Other advantages of LP SmartSide® Siding for your Minnetonka or Eden Prairie home include:
1. Rigorous Testing
LP Siding has been tested by NASA, which determined LP was one of the more impact-resistant housing materials.
2. Genuine Look
Realistic woodgrain texture mimics the look of the original wood.
3. Proven Longevity
LP SmartSide is time-tested—installed on more than 4 million homes since 1997.
4. Simple Installation
It's light, so it's easier to install than other types of siding, and it's easier to cut since the material doesn't require special tools for installation.
5. Seamless Aesthetic
The home has fewer seams since LP can come in 16-foot lap siding lengths.
6. Safer Installation
Due to the silica dust created when cutting fiber cement, respirators are highly recommended for the installer cutting the fiber cement boards, which is not a concern for LP products.
7. Trustworthy Warranty
The limited 5/50 Year Warranty means 100% of installation and product are covered for the first five years, with prorated coverage for the next 50 years (see lpsmartside.com for actual warranty details).
8. LP Smartside Keeps its Color
The engineered wood is free of efflorescence—natural salts and minerals that can sometimes cause fiber cement to discolor.
9. Sustainable Siding Product
LP siding is manufactured from renewable wood sourced with processes certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative.
10. Versatile Installation
Reversible sides with smooth and cedar textures add to the product's versatility on the job site, which may translate into additional installation savings.
11. Tough Against the Elements
Free of knots and common wood defects, LP resists twisting, warping, cupping, and shrinking.
12. Variety of Colors & Styles
Available in different size lap siding and in many styles such as cedar shakes, colonial beaded, panel, board & batten, and stucco.
