LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Naturals Collection™ Siding Portfolio Earns Innovation Award From BUILDINGS Magazine

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, today announced that its LP^® SmartSide^® ExpertFinish^® Naturals Collection^™ siding portfolio has been selected as a winner in the 2025 BUILDINGS Magazine Product Innovation Awards. This annual program highlights noteworthy developments in commercial building materials and technologies.

The honor places LP among a small group of manufacturers recognized for design quality, performance and relevance to contemporary building needs. Introduced earlier this year, the Naturals Collection siding portfolio features six prefinished colors offered in both cedar and brushed smooth finishes. Designed to complement a wide range of architectural styles, the palette—Bonsai Black, Weathered Walnut, Aged Amber, Saffron Cedar, Smoky Slate and Washed White—captures the appearance of stained wood while providing the durability and consistency of an engineered product.

The award reflects a broader trend in commercial design toward materials that balance aesthetics with resilience.

“We’re honored that the Naturals Collection portfolio has been recognized by BUILDINGS Magazine for product innovation,” said LP Vice President of Marketing Lynn Cobb. “This award reflects our commitment to delivering beautiful, durable solutions that meet the evolving needs of architects, builders and homeowners.”

The BUILDINGS Magazine Product Innovation Awards are judged by a panel selected by the magazine’s editorial staff. Entries are evaluated for originality, functionality and potential to improve building performance or user experience. The program regularly draws submissions from manufacturers working across the building materials, systems and technology sectors.

For LP, this recognition adds momentum to the company’s continued investment in high-performance building solutions. The SmartSide^® line, including the Naturals Collection^™ colors, is a core part of LP’s strategy as demand grows for durable materials with a refined architectural appearance.
