"fiber substrate" lap siding

Nov 11, 2011 2 Replies

I'm looking at LP's 'Smartside' lap siding, to replace some water-damaged clapboards. LP has an OSB type, but the 'simulated rough-sawn finish' (I think that's what they're trying for) doesn't match. They have a smooth finish, but it's described as "fiber substrate". (Apparently, not cement board.) I'm interested in any info about this.



Thanks, George


Looking for *any* info?

Have you checked out their website?

I'd read that. First not clear whether it is saying anything about LP's own "fiber substrate" SmartSide. Again, LP's 'smooth' finish SmartSide is not OSB - it's "fiber substrate". But, it's still (per local lumber yard) in the SmartSide family.

Second, ppl's experience with this might be different than LP's promotional material.
