FIBER CEMENT SIDING – WHAT IS IT MADE OF?

Fiber cement is manufactured from a few simple ingredients: sand, water, Portland cement, and cellulose fibers. Every manufacturer will have a different distribution of ingredients, so the product can vary slightly. We provide full exterior design services to help you choose the right materials, desired color, appropriate level of maintenance, and more.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Fiber cement is a long-lasting material that provides excellent overall value. It costs less than synthetic stucco, brick, and some wood siding options. It is equally or less costly than hardboard or composite siding.

HOW DOES THE SIDING PERFORM?

Fiber cement siding holds many benefits over traditional siding materials like vinyl and wood. 

– Created to endure damage from moisture and rot.

– Engineered to stand up to the requirements of your particular climate.

– Unappealing to termites, woodpeckers, and other pests.

– Non-flammable. It will not burn when exposed to a direct flame or add fuel to a fire.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN THE SIDING?

Fiber cement siding is low-maintenance. The amount and type of maintenance needed will depend on your geographic location, weathering, and whether it is prefinished siding or painted on site.

Prefinished products resist fading, chipping, and cracking, which means less maintenance for you.

WHAT STYLES ARE AVAILABLE?

There is an abundance of design flexibility with fiber cement siding. It comes in a variety of textures and grains such as smooth, stucco finishes, as well as wood grain, and a range of prefinished color options.

There are also several different siding profiles to accommodate you in creating the best aesthetic for your house.
