Held annually at the NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS), the world’s largest light construction event, the Best of IBS Awards honor the most innovative and impactful products in the residential construction industry. Finalists are selected based on innovation, functionality, design and appeal to builders and consumers.
LP SmartSide ExpertFinish Naturals Collection siding and LP BurnGuard Fire-Retardant-Treated (FRT) Oriented Strand Board (OSB) panels stood out among hundreds of entries, earning recognition for exceptional design and performance.
“Being named a finalist for the NAHB Best of IBS Awards for two products reflects LP’s commitment to delivering high-quality, innovative solutions to the market,” said LP Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer Craig Sichling. “Earning this recognition for the second consecutive year speaks to the dedication of our LP team and our continued focus on advancing building materials that enhance durability and innovation.”
A nod to stained wood, the Naturals Collection™ portfolio is available in six versatile prefinished colors in both cedar and brushed smooth finishes to complement a wide range of architectural styles. Each color coordinates with the 16 LP SmartSide ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding colors. LP SmartSide ExpertFinish Trim & Siding is backed by an industry-leading 5/15/50-year limited warranty to help ensure durability and peace of mind for builders and homeowners.
Launching in 2026, LP BurnGuard FRT OSB is a structural panel with fire-retardant protection blended throughout the strands for consistent performance through the full thickness of the panel. It installs like traditional OSB and is backed by an industry-leading 20-year limited warranty.
