In 60 seconds
What you need to know.
LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding — real wood strands and fibers, bound with resin and treated with LP's proprietary SmartGuard process against moisture, fungal decay and insects.
It gives you the look and texture of cedar lap siding without cedar's maintenance headaches. Factory-primed, nail-ready, paintable to any color — including custom color changes down the road, which vinyl cannot do.
Who this is for
- Homes where a real wood texture matters.
- Owners who want the option to repaint later.
- Projects that want a premium look that sits between vinyl and fiber cement.
Not for
- Homes right on the coast where salt exposure makes fiber cement the better long-term call.
- Owners who want a through-color, never-paint product.
Material and method
What makes it different.
Real wood texture.
Engineered strands produce a convincing cedar-grain surface with strong lap definition.
Paintable finish.
Factory primer accepts a wide color range now and allows a different paint color later.
Written protection
Warranty.
- LP's limited material warranty — we show you LP's current written terms before you sign.
- SJCC workmanship warranty. Both are printed in the contract.
