In this blog post, we’ll take a look at why LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding is seen as a sustainable siding product and what sets it apart from other siding products on the market.

What is LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding?

Before we dive into the benefits of LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding, let’s first define what it is. LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding is a type of engineered wood siding that features a wood strand composite core and a resin-saturated overlay. This combination of materials gives LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding a number of advantages over other siding options. For example, it is lighter in weight, longer-lasting, and more durable on the jobsite than many traditional materials.

Speed of Installation

One of the key benefits of LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding is its speed of installation. According to LP Corporate and Siding Marketing Director Derek Blank, LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding can be installed up to 21% faster than fiber cement lap siding. This is because the product is pre-primed and ready for paint, which reduces the amount of time and effort needed to get the product ready for installation. In addition, the product’s pre-fabricated lengths make it easier and quicker to install the siding in large sections, saving time on the jobsite.

Sustainability and Attainability

Another benefit of LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding is its sustainability and attainability. The product is manufactured using renewable wood resources that come from sustainably managed forests. This means that the product has a lower impact on the environment than many other siding options. Furthermore, LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding is an attainable product. This means that it is priced so that it is accessible to a wide range of consumers, making it a popular choice for homeowners and building professionals alike.
