Fiber Cement Siding and the Benefits You Need to Know
You may have considered it before, but if you’re looking to replace your home’s exteriors, you can’t go wrong with fiber cement siding. In fact, according to the Census Bureau’s Survey of Construction, fiber cement siding is currently installed on about 20% of modern homes. Siding and commercial roofing contractors often recommend this material for homeowners who are looking to have the style of wood, stone, or brick on their home exteriors without having to spend for the costly maintenance.
Here’s why fiber cement siding is beneficial to your home:
It’s More Affordable Than Other Materials
Introduced just about 35 years ago, fiber cement siding has become popular due to its affordability compared to other materials such as wood and brick. You can find fiber cement siding available in options that can emulate wood, stone and brick as well, which is ideal for updating more historic homes without the hassle of constant maintenance. It also works well in coastal areas where other siding options are prone to rot and fungus, as well as hot and humid climates.
It’s Also Durable and Non-Combustible
As reputable siding and commercial roof repair contractors, we recommend using fiber cement siding in areas prone to wildfires simply because it’s non-combustible. Some insurance companies may even offer a discount for this siding when you’re living in fire prone areas. It’s also extremely durable, with factory finishes carrying a 15-year warranty against flaking and fading. Warranties against defects can also range from 25 years to limited lifetime.
It Only Needs Little Maintenance
Since fiber cement doesn’t have the inconsistencies of wood, it holds paint better, which means you don’t have to spend as much on repainting or other maintenance costs. Fiber cement siding also resists termite damage, moisture, shrinking, warping, cracking, fading and impact damage.
