Resists Termites and Fungal Decay
It's the only siding treated with the borate-based SmartGuard process to resist termites and fungal decay.
7/30 Limited Warranty
Backed by a limited, 30-year, transferable warranty with a 7-year, 100% repair/replacement gaurantee unmatched by any other siding manufacturer.
No Special Cutting Tools Required
Unlike fiber cement, SmartSide products can be cut using standard circular saw blades.
Exceptional Stability
SmartSide is more dimensionally stable, and will not split, warp, delaminate, or buckle like plywood siding.
Moisture-Resistant
A resin-saturated, paint-based overlay and proprietary edge-and-groove coating help resist moisture - unlike plywood siding, which needs to be field-primed.
Deep Embossed Cedar Texture
Attractive cedar grain surface is free of the knotholes or repair patches found in even the best plywood siding.
Easy to Install and Finish
Shiplap edges with bead-and-notch system facilitate proper alignment and installation. The new tapered groove and factory pre-primed surface makes painting faster and easier.
Superior Strength
SmartSide's strength-to-weight ratio is superior to fiber cement and other plywood siding products. In fact, SmartSide is so strong, it can be nailed directly to the studs, eliminating the need for wall sheathing and possibly corner braces. It can even be used in seismic zones and other areas where high shear strength is required. See local building codes and application instructions for specifications.
