James Hardie® Fiber cement siding is a low-maintenance exterior option for your home. The extent and nature of maintenance required will depend on your geographical location, exposure to the building, and whether you have prefinished siding or if it will be painted on-site. Fiber cement siding is a great option to consider for both residential and commercial buildings. It is a durable and long-lasting material that provides excellent protection while still maintaining flexibility. The ingredients used in making fiber cement include Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers, although the composition may vary depending on the manufacturer.

Their formulation includes proprietary additives that enhance the performance of the product, making it long-lasting and providing excellent overall value. Compared to other traditional siding materials like wood and vinyl, fiber cement has many performance advantages. For instance, it is non-combustible, can withstand damage from moisture and rot, and can be engineered to meet your specific climate’s demands. Additionally, it is unappealing to woodpeckers, termites, and other pests.

While the cost of fiber cement siding varies depending on the manufacturer, it generally costs less than brick, synthetic stucco, and some wood siding options. It is typically equally or less expensive than hardboard or composite siding and more expensive than vinyl. Fiber cement siding is also a low-maintenance exterior option for your home. However, the extent and nature of maintenance required will depend on your geographical location, the exposure of the building, and whether you have prefinished siding or if it will be painted on-site.
