We've seen this product withstand hail!
Look at the gouges on the top photo. This is LP SmartSide. The second photo is metal trim riddled with hail damage but the James Hardie siding is left UNMARKED. These homes are within walking distance, affected by the same storm. This proves James Hardie Siding can withstand hail damage and LP SmartSide does not.
James Hardie and LP SmartSide are constantly battling when it comes to marketing. We, as contractors, have seen hail damage time and time again. Which product do we see left unfazed? James Hardie. When a hail storm strikes repeatedly, James Hardie withstands the storm, leaving LP SmartSide often needing a full replacement. For example, we usually see gouges where the hailstone hits. We install what we believe in based on real-life performance. We have replaced 100s of homes with LP SmartSide due to hail damage. Most of our customers replace their SmartSide with James Hardie because they are tired of replacing their siding every few years. You will save money in the end, by choosing James Hardie.
Why does James Hardie survive the hail?
- Made of Fiber Cement
- ColorPlus Technology finish is fade resistant
- Resistant to denting and cracking
James Hardie siding can be a good investment for homeowners who want a durable, long-lasting solution for their home’s exterior. While it may cost more than other siding options, the initial investment can be offset by the siding’s low maintenance costs and long life.
James Hardie products are made from natural, sustainable materials such as sand, cellulose fiber, Portland cement, and recycled water.
Why does LP SmartSide not withstand hail?
LP SmartSide siding is a line of engineered wood siding made from a proprietary blend of wood strands or fibers bonded with resins and treated with zinc borate. The engineered wood is then compressed and formed into siding panels and boards.
