LP SmartSide is specifically engineered to resist damage from both high winds and severe hail, making it a premier choice for volatile climates like Colorado.

### Hail Resistance LP SmartSide provides industry-leading impact protection through several key features:

• UL 2218 Class 4 Rating: It has earned the highest possible certification for hail resistance.
• Resilient Composition: Unlike brittle fiber cement (such as James Hardie), which may crack or shatter upon impact, LP SmartSide utilizes a strand substrate that absorbs impacts without denting or cracking.
• Comprehensive Warranty: The product’s durability is backed by a 50-year limited hail-resistance warranty.

### Wind Resistance In addition to its impact performance, LP SmartSide has been rigorously tested to withstand extreme wind conditions. It is rated to resist winds of up to 130 mph, ensuring the siding remains secure during high-wind events.

### Comparison with Other Materials

• Vs. Fiber Cement: While fiber cement is rigid, it is prone to cracking from large hail. LP SmartSide’s resilient construction maintains its integrity season after season.

• Vs. Traditional Wood: Traditional lumber often dents and splinters easily, whereas LP SmartSide meets ASTM D1037 impact standards, offering superior protection against flying debris.
