Warping and peeling isn’t just cosmetic—it means moisture is getting behind your siding. Left unchecked, that trapped water rots the sheathing and invites mold. Our siding in Chartwell locks out rain with an engineered wood core that won’t swell or crack.
In addition to moisture, homes in this area face strong winds that can tear loose siding. The engineered material we install fits tightly and resists impact from flying debris—so your exterior stays intact through fall storms.

Durable Siding Solution
Old siding can buckle in constant rain, but LP SmartSide offers a better option. Its engineered wood strands are coated with a special wax and resin blend that keeps moisture out. This means no swelling, no rot, and no need for yearly repainting just to keep it looking good.
You get siding that looks like real cedar but performs like a modern composite. The boards are treated with a zinc borate formula to resist fungal decay and termites. When we install LP SmartSide siding in Vancouver, we provide homeowners a 50-year prorated warranty on the substrate, protecting against the very damage you’re seeing now.
Homes in Chartwell face two main threats: heavy rain and strong sun. This combination can bake cheap siding until it cracks, allowing water to seep deep into the walls. A siding that can only handle one of these conditions won’t last a full year on these hillsides.
The neighborhood’s mix of sprawling ranch homes and custom builds needs an exterior that stays strong. LP’s treated strands won’t snap under the thermal expansion common on south-facing elevations here. Its baked-on finish also blocks UV rays that would usually fade a lesser product in just a few seasons.
LP SmartSide Installation Techniques
In Chartwell, we start installing LP SmartSide with stainless steel ring-shank nails. These nails are placed every 16 inches along the studs to hold the planks securely against wind. We leave a 1/8-inch gap at butt joints and trim transitions. This gap allows the material to expand naturally during wet winters. A continuous bead of sealant behind each trim piece helps block water from getting in at these important points.
For lap applications, we ensure a minimum 1-inch overhang. This overhang helps shed water that runs down the wall. We also use flush joint flashing to protect the vertical seams. On exposed gable ends, we stagger the joints and use metal Z-flashing to keep water draining properly. This layered setup, along with the siding’s baked-on acrylic finish, keeps driving rain from reaching the sheathing.
To handle Chartwell’s heavy rain, we create a ventilated cavity behind the LP SmartSide. The siding goes over a drainage mat or vertical furring strips. This setup creates an air space that breaks the capillary path and lets water drain freely to the ground. This cavity helps airflow, preventing humid air from building up against the sheathing.
We also use integral flashing lap details. Head flashings above windows and doors extend beyond the trim margins. Kick-out flashings at roof-to-wall transitions direct water into gutters. Flexible sill pan liners under window openings catch any moisture and channel it outward, protecting the wood framing below.
Our attachment methods consider the high wind loads from the Burrard Inlet and the hillsides. We use stainless steel fasteners with ring shanks, placed closer together near corners and roof edges. This helps distribute shear forces without damaging the siding.
