Fiber cement has long ceased to be an alternative to wood and vinyl siding products. Over time, it has successfully made a name for itself as a stellar siding choice for both traditional and modern homes.
Why is fiber cement the most well-rounded siding material you can find today? Twin Cities Siding and Roofing sheds light on its best characteristics:
Incredibly Tough
Fiber cement is primarily made of cellulose fibers, Portland cement, sand, and water. Together, these key ingredients forge a revolutionary material that can withstand the worst punishments nature can deliver.
It resists rot, prevents termite infestation, is impervious to the extreme temperature swings, and doesn’t combust. When installed properly, no harsh elements can compromise the structural integrity of fiber cement siding.
Reinforced by complementary components, your fiber cement siding system inhibits water intrusion and expels indoor moisture.
Aesthetically Versatile
James Hardie®, the premier provider of fiber cement siding, trim, and soffit solutions, offers a huge array of products to satisfy all architectural style requirements. Do you love the traditional look of horizontal planks? Maybe you want to shingle your exterior walls? Perhaps a vertical siding style is what you desire? Whichever way you want to clad your home, there’s a Hardie product for your unique aesthetic needs.
Thanks to its ColorPlus® Technology, you can choose from a broad spectrum of rich hues to color your fiber cement siding. James Hardie products are available in a baked-on, factory-coated finish, 50% thicker than what ordinary painters use.
Virtually Maintenance-Free
Fiber cement rolls beauty and brawn into one. Fiber cement siding systems can hold their own against detrimental forces to defy aging. When coated by a ColorPlus finish, Hardie products can remain ageless for a long time.
Other materials, especially vinyl, are highly susceptible to developing cosmetic imperfections, like discoloration. On the contrary, James Hardie products don’t chip, peel, crack, and fade. Despite long-term exposure to intense UV radiation, expect your siding to preserve its attractive appearance with just basic cleaning.
