Channel: Storm Group Roofing

[9]
hey guys welcome to another episode of storm group TV today we're going to
[14]
challenge LP smartside and James Karthik for the ultimate test bullet test how
[20]
these two guys will handle it so first thing first let me introduce you
[25]
LP smartside and James hardy Hardy bored Hardy playing been around for years now
[31]
and both of them have some problems in the past some of them even have claims
[37]
against them but they're really a redesigned other products and today we
[41]
firmly believe this guy is really one of the best products on the market however
[46]
LP smartside recently started coming after James Hardy guys or fiber cement
[52]
they don't call them you know by name for legal purposes and I think we can do
[58]
it we're installers we install both products we're not biased we're not
[62]
getting paid by anyone and we really want to challenge LP puncture test
[68]
you've seen a lot of commercials probably you know guys on the horses and
[72]
you know like bullet a whole bunch of stock both throwing the deciding well
[77]
the reality is how truly important durable siding it's very important but
[83]
how relevant those tests those commercials if you make a decision so
[88]
our job is to help you it keep you to make a decision towards the product you
[94]
install in the house and if you're really concerned about bulletproof or
[99]
puncture test or how durable the product is this videos for you so LP smartside
[105]
is engineers would James Hardie it's a fiber product engineering together
[113]
so you can see that James Hardie is a little bit thinner than LP so we have
[122]
twenty boards here and twenty boards here and you can see the thickness of
[126]
James Harden's much you know less so according to LP if there is the strongest they have a
[131]
stronger boards on the market so what we decided to do we decided to challenge it
[137]
decided to put nine-millimeter bullet pretty much shoot this two guys and see
[142]
if how many boards does it take to stop the bullet but this is not a real-life
[148]
test you'll never have 20 pieces together and anything happening to it so
[153]
on top of that second part of the task will be revealed its walls so pretty
[159]
much this is your wall in the house the one you have you have a drywall on the
[164]
inside you have insulation you have your half inch OSB board and you have a
[168]
product outside in this case this is a LP smartside in this case it's James
[174]
Hardy so we build ten of each and we want to show you how nine-millimeter
[180]
bullet goes through it and how many walls does it take to stop the bullet so
[187]
let's get it started okay guys you've seen probably a lot of tests on TV helped
[194]
me recently lot of comments of james harvey lot of balls
[199]
thrown in and rocks thrown in we believe they have the strongest
[204]
product on the market right now we decided to put it to the ultimate
[208]
test to see how many pieces small LP and James Hardie will it take to stop a
[214]
bullet so I have edward here entering the bit my background I'm a Marine Corps
[220]
scout sniper you know a little bit about ballistics and bullets so what I want to
[225]
do is demonstrate that it's not so much about strength it's about sometimes
[230]
ability to absorb energy so here we have 20 pieces of Jp I'm sorry of James
[236]
Hardie and 20 pieces of LP siding and we're going to see not just which part
[242]
is the strongest with which product is best at absorbing impacts. so you can see 20
[247]
pieces of lp with a much thicker so what's your predicament I think
[254]
I think the james hardie
[260]
given how brittle it can be the bullet may not go very far throw the james hardie
[267]
the force and that kind of a shocker. I predict that maybe
[277]
this far crack the rest as for lp this is very good
[282]
at absorbing energy I think this is going to come out on top yeah I would say lp
[290]
although there's only one way to find out lets shoot it
[366]
so how many so let's do so we got one with a dent we have two over that stop
[374]
with the impact so number two actually stopped and pass number five the letters
[383]
into so it's so James Hardie stops number two and then it made little
[390]
impact on a three and four but past four best five it's clear there's nothing
[400]
there let's see this guy so you have one two three four five six seven we have a
[420]
little dent so seven called the winner of bullet test is James Hardy ta da. so here
[430]
you see the first test what do you think andrew as far as results James for
[435]
surprises me by the feel of it I'm thinking this
[439]
going to absorb as much energy as it did and prove me wrong so the only other
[445]
factor that will be the sheet rock and other glass in between so what we did is for
[450]
those of you who would think that it's not objective to put pieces together we
[454]
wanted to do more of real-life theft so right now we got our grid which we build
[458]
mini walls it's two by six walls for the installation are our 19 insulation
[464]
so it had dry wall in the back. pretty much its a real life wall. and we are going to see how many
[470]
walls with a James Hardy and lp will it take to stop the bullet but
[476]
there's only one way to find out. did it go out now you can see the young sorry
[498]
ash from the shoot back here so which I get went pretty far back
[505]
okay so you want to start the default first one is
[514]
just let me see the back okay 3 oh - that was fast
[527]
and so the bullet is here let's see it
[536]
where's the bullet
[552]
so number three three walls nice it's better than I thought well pretty
[560]
much the same as that back-to-back show me the back two we get first one
[569]
second one third
[575]
so number three
[586]
well it's number two
[592]
so James hardie took 2 walls and lp took three walls is that correct
[598]
let me see it again so second wall stop James Hardie and didn't even make the
[605]
third I think its impact it just impact but the bullet actually was here and
[612]
number two and LP it was in number three right impact number four so impacted
[621]
number four but went through three walls so here you have it
[626]
LP lost again bullet test went through three walls and James Hardie second one
[639]
stopped the bullet so James hardie is still harder on bullet
[642]
so what do you think now you know what to install on your house if
[648]
you live in bad neighborhood let me show you a few things so this is James Hardie
[653]
pretty much after you know second third board most likely the bullet will just
[658]
stop and you know it's pretty impressive and as you know sideing
[665]
yes it's overly a bullet gets there it's not going to even penetrate the house in
[670]
the first place so this is the first one and LP actually looks like it could go
[676]
even further just the way the boards are designed
[679]
looks like our bullet just turned in and was trying to change a direction so that
[686]
wouldn't happen is probably you know keep on a few more boards so the purpose
[691]
of this video is just want to make clear myself James Hardie and LP is one of the
[697]
best products you can install in your house
[700]
we want you to make educated decision if somebody makes a claim to have better
[705]
puncture words your you know wherever most likely it's not going to happen in
[709]
the real life and you need to know how those products are ready but when it
[714]
comes to exterior products like sideing you should be concerned how it reacts to
[720]
moisture to temperature if you live in you know up north if it's
[725]
really cold in the wintertime what's going to happen then because this guy's
[730]
here LP is going to expand James Hardy over time shrinks so they react
[736]
differently in the next couple of weeks we're going to make few more videos
[739]
we're going to have one video about all pros and cons about both products we're
[744]
going to talk about their warranties on a paint we're going to talk about their
[748]
extreme because they're quite different we still install both the really good
[753]
choices but when you make a decision don't make it because you've seen one
[757]
commercial and somebody says hey this is much stronger this is not the case and
[762]
this is living proof this is really good test to show that one actually much
[767]
better than another but other one is claiming that they're the strongest one
[772]
of those things that you have to kind of look at from all angles don't listen to
[777]
that sales guy who really trying to kill in a competitor make your educated
[783]
decision if you liked this video please subscribe to our channel ask question
