Compare LP® SmartSide® vs. Wood
When you compare SmartSide® Trim to traditional wood, you’ll ask yourself why you didn’t switch earlier. Trim is a conspicuous detail for homeowners, and a frequent callback problem. Your business and reputation can benefit from the durability and ease of using an engineered wood trim.
Installs Faster Than Traditional Wood
Because SmartSide Trim is engineered wood, you’ll find no knots or voids to cut around. That means faster installation and less wasted materials.
Resists Fungal Growth
The biggest difference between SmartSide Trim and traditional wood? The durability in the elements. Our proprietary SmartGuard® process fortifies throughout the trim substrate so fungal decay can’t gain a foothold.
Resists Termites
We laid traditional wood siding and LP SmartSide in containers of Formosan termite colonies. After three years of bedding down with on of the world’s most damaging pests, there was almost nothing left of the traditional siding. The LP SmartSide samples had virtually no damage.
