Protecting Engineered Wood Siding From Water Damage
Do you live in a part of the country that sees significant precipitation? Looking for the best waterproof wood siding or flood resistant siding? Exposure to water should be a consideration as you choose siding materials. Although most siding products are not completely waterproof nor flood resistant, LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding is engineered with LP's proprietary SmartGuard® process to withstand siding water damage and help protect your home from moisture.
What Does Water Damage Look Like On Siding?
Extended exposure to water causes siding to decay, warp, crack and expand. Water damage on wood siding can cause significant structural problems. While there isn't a completely waterproof siding, special water-resistant waxes at the core of every piece of LP SmartSide siding go a long way in helping to keep your home protected from moisture.
Fiber cement lap siding can be dented from debris. Its absorptive qualities also make it hard to maintain in areas that have excessive precipitation, which often comes with high winds.
Wind-blown rain may enter through openings of aluminum siding sections resulting in water damage under siding.
LP SmartSide products are built with water-resistant waxes that coat each strand of wood and create a powerful barrier against moisture.
