TO HELP PROVE THE SUPERIOR DURABILITY
OF LP

SMARTSIDE
®
SIDING, LP Building Products
asked the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA
®
) to
evaluate the impact damage resistance of LP SmartSide engineered
wood strand siding and fiber cement siding.
Impact damage resistance was compared by impacting each type of
siding with rocks, which could be thrown from a lawn mower, and golf
balls and baseballs, which could accidentally hit the side of a house.

SUMMARY OF SOME KEY FINDINGS
The NASA written evaluation stated, "The siding products were supported in a configuration representative of a normal installation."
When hit by small rocks
Small rocks shot at LP SmartSide strand
siding at 107 miles per hour barely left
a mark. The same kinds of rocks visibly
damaged fiber cement at an even
slower speed.
When hit by a golf ball
A golf ball traveling at 63 miles per hour
left no visible damage to LP SmartSide
strand siding. A golf ball moving at less
than 50 miles per hour visibly damaged
fiber cement.
When hit by a baseball
LP SmartSide strand siding was hit by a
baseball at 77 miles per hour and showed
no visible damage. A slower-moving
baseball put a hole in fiber cement.
