One system, two requirements
Colorado's code looks at cladding performance and wall assembly performance separately. Here's how LP products support each.
Cladding
LP SmartSide siding and trim meet cladding requirements in approved zones.
Wall assembly
LP FlameBlock sheathing and 5/8" Type X gypsum help meet wall assembly requirements.
A home's defense starts with the whole assembly
Siding is just one part of a home's wildfire defense. The building envelope works together to help protect what matters most—from the roof and siding to windows, vents, and other critical components.

Engineered wood will crack when impacted by hail.
Built to withstand everyday impacts and hail up to the size of a golf ball, LP SmartSide siding and trim delivers lasting durability and curb appeal.
Protect your home against damage from hail
LP SmartSide is engineered to be exceptionally durable, to reduce hail damage and maintain its appearance after impact, saving on costly repairs. That's why builders, contractors, and homeowners in demanding climates rely on LP SmartSide.
How does LP SmartSide siding protect against hail?
LP SmartSide is a strong choice for hail-resistant siding thanks to its proprietary SmartGuard® manufacturing process. Every strand of wood is treated with a carefully formulated mix of resins, waxes, and zinc borate, then finished with an overlay to protect against tough weather elements.
Proven to perform against hail
In third-party testing commissioned by LP Building Solutions, LP SmartSide lap siding resisted hail damage better than comparable fiber cement or vinyl siding.
