LP® SmartSide® Installs Quick and Easy
We designed LP® SmartSide® Siding to install perfectly with a minimum of fuss, so your crew can get the job done quickly without worrying about callbacks.
Longer Siding Installs Faster
LP SmartSide Lap Siding comes in extra-long 16-foot lengths. On a typical residence, that can result in up to 33 percent fewer seams. Which means less nailing and less caulking.
Lighter Siding Installs Faster, Too
Since LP SmartSide products weigh significantly less than fiber cement, it installs faster. Plus, since it won’t shatter like fiber cement, your crew can move a little faster.

No Defects to Avoid
When installing traditional wood trim and siding, there are always little defects to cut around. LP SmartSide has no knots, voids or other issues. Each piece is consistent, can be ordered to width, and can be ripped with traditional wood tools.
Little Features Save Time
The Architectural Collection Cedar Shakes are staggered but easy to install like lap. The Self-Aligning Lap in our Architectural Collection speeds up a job even more. And the Precision Series Structural Panel is strong enough to be nailed directly to the studs, eliminating the need for extra sheathing in many cases. And using this APA®-rated structural panel, you won’t need back-bracing on load-bearing walls.
