Smart panel and trim: Our Standard Siding

Since 1992 we have been using siding that is now called smart panel and trim by Louisiana Pacific, a wood product manufacturing company that is dedicated to evolving its product line with ongoing environmental advancements.

This very structural and durable siding is engineered OSB (orientated strand board) that resists warping, cracking and splitting and comes in various size sheets. It looks like a real wood finish with a decorative vertical grove every 8”. This is a low maintenance, pre-primed surface that is ready to finish with any color of exterior latex paint, every 20 to 30 years!

Another great feature we like is the fact that it is made from small diameter, rapidly regenerating trees and is treated with environmentally friendly borates to resist rot, termites, and mold.

A truly green product that uses raw materials very efficiently and is made with low-emitting safe resins.

LP Smartside has such enhanced durability that they offer a limited 50 year warranty.
