LP (Louisiana Pacific) Smartside is a wood composite siding that mimics the look of real wood siding with less upfront cost and routine maintenance than real wood siding. LP Smartside comes in planks of various widths, you can choose between a 4.5”, 5.5”, 6.5”, or 10.5” exposure. LP Smartside also comes in board and batten so you have a lot of freedom to customize the design to your taste and your home’s style. LP Smartside is pre-finished when it arrives at your home for installation, unlike real wood which needs to be stained or painted after installation. This prefinished siding should be repainted every  -10 years, which is less frequent than real wood siding that needs a fresh coat every 3-7 years. If you are looking for a siding product that requires less maintenance, vinyl or steel siding is a better option. If appearance is your top priority, LP Smartside is an excellent choice. Do you already have an insurance claim for your vinyl siding? Ironclad Construction can help you utilize your insurance claim to upgrade to LP Smartside siding.
