A home remodeling, home improvement and siding installation company based in Colorado offers top-of-the-line products that can add magnificent appeal to your property. Their best-in-class products offer utmost durability as they are engineered to sustain the harshest exposures.
One of their products, the LP SmartSide Siding, offers complete freedom and excellence in siding home exteriors. In addition, it offers matchless quality as it uses conventional wood treated to perfection, helping to extend the longevity of the home’s exterior.
Unlike ordinary materials, LP SmartSide Siding offers greater durability, which is an aspect pretty much in demand.
Why choose LP SmartSide Siding?
There are several benefits to using the product:
Durable
As mentioned above, the LP SmartSide Siding perhaps earns the greatest supremacy due to its ability to withstand exposure to the sun, UV rays, and other climatic conditions. GS Exterior Experts approached the factor of durability with the highest priority. Colorado’s climate can become an ordeal for homeowners, investing in a siding structure immune to moisture, decay, termites, wind, hail and other conditions thanks to the SmartGuard process.
Better materials
Because of its elasticity, engineered wood is less prone to cracking than composite siding. However, some composite sidings, such as fiber cement, are made of cellulose fibers bonded with additional materials. Therefore, depending on the material, composite siding may require more upkeep.
How does it stack up against Fiber Cement?
Engineered wood and fiber cement siding have excellent long-term performance and aesthetics, but LP SmartSide Siding has an industry-leading warranty and is much simpler and quicker to install. In addition, engineered wood has a higher resistance to impact than non-engineered wood.
Moving LP SmartSide Siding around a site is much easier because it is less likely to break. There’s no need for multiple people to accomplish this task. Nails and screws can be used to install Engineered LP SmartSide Siding because it cuts like real wood. However, using fiber cement requires specialized cutting equipment and can result in more material waste due to the material’s greater susceptibility to fracture or break.
Fiber cement lap boards come 12 foot lengths, whereas LP SmartSide Siding can be 16’long. Engineered wood may be simpler to install than solid wood due to its length and lack of seams.
Against traditional wood?
Even though traditional wood has a charming appearance, it also comes with all of the earth’s flaws. LP SmartSide, on the other hand, bears a strong resemblance but is significantly more resistant to impact and moisture.
Engineered wood, on the other hand, uses wood strands that have been treated and bonded with wax and resin for added strength.
Due to its high flexibility, LP SmartSide engineered wood siding can be installed quickly and easily. Untreated natural wood has a high biodegradability. Wind gusts up to 200 mph are no problem for LP SmartSide siding because it has a 50-year limited warranty on its treatment. Additionally, LP SmartSide Siding requires far less upkeep than regular wood does.
- LP SmartSide Siding vs Vinyl Siding
The low cost and ease of maintenance have made vinyl siding the most popular choice, but it falls short regarding LP SmartSide Siding’s long life, impact resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
In terms of energy efficiency, LP SmartSide engineered wood siding is far superior to vinyl siding. For example, SmartSide can withstand wind gusts up to 200 mph, while vinyl siding can’t withstand the weather for over a few decades. Vinyl siding is more likely to scratch, break, or warp than wood siding.
