What Is LP Smartside Siding

Your home’s siding does more than define its style—it shields your investment from New York’s extreme weather. Between heavy lake-effect snow, pounding rain, and humid summers, traditional siding materials can quickly show their age. LP SmartSide® trim and siding deliver the natural cedar woodgrain texture homeowners love, backed by advanced engineering that outlasts and outperforms vinyl, traditional wood, and even fiber cement. With proven durability and timeless beauty, LP SmartSide® is the smart choice for New York homeowners who want year-round protection and lasting curb appeal.

Why Choose LP SmartSide® for Your Home

16' lengths reduce seams for dramatically sharper, refined lines.

Low Maintenance, Longer Lasting Beauty

Available in our ExpertFinish® color collection—factory-applied finishes in a range of curated, designer-approved colors built to resist fading, scratching, and everyday wear. With ExpertFinish® lap siding, you’ll also benefit from an exclusive joint design that eliminates the need for seam caulking, joint molds, or pan flashing, creating a cleaner look with less upkeep. Backed by LP’s industry-leading up to 50-year limited warranty, you can count on lasting beauty and performance with minimal maintenance.

Built for Every Season in New York

Living in New York means preparing your home for every kind of weather. LP SmartSide® siding is engineered to perform in conditions that often cause other siding to fail.

Snow & Ice Dams: Unlike traditional wood, LP SmartSide® resists swelling, cracking, and freeze/thaw damage caused by ice buildup and lake-effect snow. Its SmartGuard® treatment helps prevent moisture from penetrating, so your siding stays stable even through long winters.

Rain & Moisture: Heavy spring rains and damp conditions can quickly lead to mold, mildew, and rot in unprotected materials. LP SmartSide’s® engineered wood core is wax-coated and resin-bonded to block water intrusion, keeping your home dry and secure.

Heat & Sun Fade: Prolonged sun exposure can cause vinyl siding to warp and colors to fade. LP SmartSide® is designed to maintain its shape and appearance under high heat and UV rays, ensuring your home’s curb appeal lasts through hot summers.

High Winds & Storms: With hurricanes and heavy fall storms becoming more frequent, impact resistance matters. LP SmartSide® has been tested to withstand winds up to 200 mph and hail impact up to 1.75 inches, giving homeowners peace of mind during unpredictable weather.
