Resists Fungal Decay and Termites: SmartGuard®

We protect LP® SmartSide® from fungal decay and termites with SmartGuard®. This zinc borate-based process fortifies the entire siding substrate, and in 10 years of testing no LP SmartSide sample has shown any structural damage.

Siding Protection

Brutally Tested

We took LP SmartSide to our testing grounds in Hilo, Hawaii. With 170 inches of annual rain there, we tested resistance to moisture and fungal decay, by exposing siding samples without paint on 90- and 45-degree angled walls. We have been testing over 10 years — the testing equivalent of 30 years — and no LP SmartSide has shown any structural damage.

SmartGuard Siding Testing

And Termites Hate It

SmartSide Equals no Termites

We laid traditional wood siding and LP SmartSide in containers of Formosan termite colonies. After three years of bedding down with one of the world’s most damaging pests, there was almost nothing left of the traditional siding. The LP SmartSide had virtually no damage.
