About Fiber Cement Siding
Appearance
You can’t find a better imitation of real wood than fiber cement! You can choose from a variety of styles, including clapboard, shakes, and shingles. Plus, the unique rigidity of fiber cement siding will allow you to blind nail.
Durable
Developed around the turn of the century by a French company, fiber cement is made of cement, ground sand, and cellulose fibers. There are thousands of 80- and 90-year-old homes that still have this original material on their exterior walls and roofs. Fiber cement building materials have a proven track record for resisting rot - that is a fact!
Fiber cement's water, fire, and insect resistance can be further enhanced by a pre-finish encapsulation service.
Economical
Though it lasts longer, fiber-cement costs less than wood siding or stucco, and can even cost less than the best quality vinyl sidings on the market. Because it is so durable, you can rest your mind on the fact that you won’t have to replace it any time soon due to weather or insect damage!
Easy to Install
Fiber cement siding installs much like other siding materials; just cut and nail. Be careful, though to handle it properly. Carry it on edge rather than flat, use tools and blades specified for fiber cement, and make sure to properly ventilate areas where it is being cut.
