Advantages of Fiber Cement Siding

• Extremely durable and fire-resistant, a huge advantage in climates that are naturally more susceptible to high humidity and severe weather such as tornadoes.
• Can be designed to look like wood, stucco and other materials to convey a custom feel on a home’s exterior.
• Comes pre-finished for longer paint life and a wide range of color options.
• Will not succumb to rot or insect infestations.
• Seams don’t overlap, which means mold and mildew won’t take hold between interior and exterior walls.
• Environmentally-friendly because it is made from cellulose fiber, sand, silica, Portland cement and recycled glass.

Disadvantages of Fiber Cement Siding

• Installation requires more skill and therefore is more expensive than other siding materials.
• Fiber cement siding must be repainted periodically, though the paint job lasts longer than on wood siding.
