FAQ
Common questions
Is LP SmartSide real wood?
It's engineered from wood strands bonded with resins and treated for durability.
How does it compare to Hardie?
LP SmartSide is lighter engineered wood; Hardie is non-combustible fibre cement. Cost, service life and maintenance depend on the selected product and installation.
Does it come pre-painted?
Yes, pre-finished options are available, or it can be painted on site.
Is it good for garages and sheds?
It's one of our favourite choices for outbuildings.
What's the warranty?
LP offers a long limited warranty, and we add our workmanship warranty.
