LP siding is susceptible to sun damage, especially in areas with high UV exposure. It is more sensitive to moisture-related issues than other options like fiber cement and vinyl. LP siding risks swelling and delamination if not correctly installed or maintained. Water damage leads to rot, decay, and structural damage.

However, there are common issues that homeowners should consider. Its fire rating is not as high as that of fiber cement siding, which raises safety concerns since it contains more organic materials. The limited color options mean homeowners often need to paint or stain, which can impact durability and energy efficiency.
