Homeowners who appreciate traditional wood siding may hesitate over its maintenance and vulnerability to moisture, insects, and decay. For those comparing traditional wood with modern wood siding alternatives, engineered wood siding provides the warmth and character of wood with added durability. One Source KC installs LP SmartSide® for homeowners throughout the Kansas City Metro area.
What Makes LP SmartSide Engineered Wood Siding Different?
LP SmartSide engineered wood siding is made from wood strands treated through the proprietary SmartGuard® process. Adhesive resins, water-resistant waxes, zinc borate, and a protective overlay help the material resist moisture, termites, fungal decay, and impacts.
This construction addresses some of the concerns associated with traditional wood while preserving an authentic wood-grain appearance. LP SmartSide is also available in different profiles, textures, and finishes, giving homeowners flexibility to complement traditional, contemporary, and other home styles.
