What Is LP Siding?
You’re looking into replacing your siding, and maybe you stumble across or hear mention of LP siding. But what is LP siding?
An acronym for Louisiana-Pacific, the manufacturing company behind SmartSide, LP Smartside siding offers a home exterior wood siding option without the maintenance or cost attached to your standard wood. Its cedar base means it’s not fire-resistant, but it is considered one of the greener siding options, with wax, resin, zinc borate, and other binders keeping the wood protected and resistant to insects and rot.
LP siding maintenance is pretty simple: Rinse any dust, dirt, or debris off with a garden hose, cloth, sponge, or soft brush; don’t power-wash LP, as it may cause moisture intrusion, discoloration, and damage to the paint.
And LP siding's cost lies between vinyl and HardiePlank fiber cement, offering a more textured look and strong siding option for homeowners.
Replacing your siding not only improves your home’s exterior defense against Mother Nature, it also boosts the value of your home by creating a greater curb appeal and refreshing your home’s overall facade.
