Composite & Smart Board Siding FAQs

What is composite (engineered wood) siding?

Engineered wood siding, like LP SmartSide, is made from wood strands or fibres that are compressed and treated with resins and binders. This process makes it significantly more durable and resistant to moisture and pests than traditional wood.

How does Smart Board compare to Hardie (fibre cement)?

Both are excellent, durable options. Smart Board is lighter and easier to install, comes in longer 16-foot lengths (for fewer seams), and has superior impact resistance. Fibre cement is non-combustible and has a slightly longer-track record. We can help you compare.

Does engineered wood siding require painting?

Engineered wood siding typically comes pre-primed and ready for paint, allowing for full colour customization. Some brands also offer pre-finished, baked-on colour options similar to Hardie’s ColorPlus®.

How does composite siding handle Vancouver Island weather?

It performs exceptionally well. The treatment process (like LP’s SmartGuard) protects the material from moisture saturation, rot, and fungal decay, making it a perfect fit for our wet, coastal climate.
