About Fiber Cement Siding
If you want the look of wood siding without the maintenance and costs associated with it, fiber cement siding is a great alternative. Fibercement siding is composed of cement, sand, and cellulose fiber, giving it tremendous strength and dimensional stability. This makes fiber cement siding unsurpassed in its ability to stand up to the elements, including wind, rain, snow, ice and sun. Its strength, beauty and durability combine to make fiber cement siding simply the best siding for enhancing and protecting homes.
Among its other attributes, fiber cement siding:
- Is ideal for cold, windy climates – Fibercement siding holds up against the effects of temperature swings in cold weather climates. Unlike other siding materials, fibercement does not become brittle in cold climates. Fibercement siding can even be installed to withstand hurricane-force winds.
- Stands up in wet, humid climates – Fibercement siding resists rotting and cracking, even in extremely damp climates. Unlike other siding materials, fibercement siding does not expand and shrink under wet conditions.
- Resists impact damage – Fibercement siding is much thicker than other types of siding. This thickness, along with the inherent strength of its materials, makes fibercement siding strong enough to resist impact damage caused by rain and hail.
- Is fire resistant– Fiber cement siding is non-combustible and achieves the highest possible flame spread rating. Fibercement siding is approved for fire-rated construction.
- Resists insect damage – Although it looks like wood it is not, so fiber cement siding resists damage from termites and other wood-eating insects.
