FOUR COMPONENTS OF PROTECTION
LP’s proprietary SmartGuard
®
 manufacturing process ensures that every 
LP SmartSide Trim & Siding product is treated with an advanced formula of 
adhesive resins, water-resistant waxes and zinc borate, after which a water-
resistant, resin-saturated overlay is bonded to the product. The result: four 
components of protection against water damage, termites and fungal decay.
