What Is LP SmartSide and Why Do You Use It?

< 1 min read

Engineered for Durability #

LP SmartSide is an engineered wood panel product manufactured by Louisiana-Pacific. It is treated with a proprietary SmartGuard process that provides excellent resistance to:

  • Moisture damage and rot
  • Fungal decay
  • Impact and hail damage
  • Wood-boring insects, including termites

Better Than Standard Wood Siding #

Compared to standard plywood or OSB siding, LP SmartSide holds paint better, is more dimensionally stable, and comes with a manufacturer’s limited warranty (typically 50 years prorated when properly maintained). It looks like natural wood but outperforms it in nearly every measurable way.

Ideal for Alberta’s Climate #

Alberta’s extreme temperature swings — from -40°C winters to hot, dry summers — demand a siding material that can handle it all. LP SmartSide’s stability and moisture resistance make it the right choice for long-lasting sheds in this climate.
