LP® SmartSide® Advantages
More Impact Resistant LP® SmartSide® Siding products are more resistant than fiber cement products to impact damage from common projectiles such as golf balls, baseballs, and rocks. In fact, independent testing by NASA confirmed it. “Under similar conditions, with all three projectiles more damage was sustained by the fiber cement siding product than the engineered wood siding product.”
