The Purpose Of Exterior Siding

Aesthetically, what is on the exterior of your house creates the first and often lasting impression of your home. Functionally, the siding material protects your house's structure from the elements, mainly rain and wind driven moisture. Siding should be selected based on cost, aesthetics, durability, maintenance requirements, and environmental impact.

Fiber Cement

For homeowners that want the look of wood but don't want the hassles and costs associated with it, fiber-cement siding may be a satisfactory alternative. Fiber-cement siding is more durable than wood, termite-resistant, water-resistant and non-combustible. It is composed of cement, sand, and cellulose fiber. The cost of fiber cement siding is more than vinyl and less than stucco and wood siding. Unless top coat is applied in the factory, siding may need to be painted every four or five years. Fiber-cement siding is appropriate for hot and humid climates because it is resistant to rot, fungus and termite infestation. It also has good weathering characteristics, strength, and impact resistance.

Compared to both vinyl and wood, fiber cement siding is far more fire resistant. It is also simply tougher and stronger than vinyl. Of course, this house siding is significantly more expensive than vinyl. It is also slower to install, albeit faster than wood refurbishing.

For the price that you are going to pay for this investment, you will want to choose a house siding that will last as long or longer then you are going to own the home. Cost for your siding also includes the price of quality nails/screws, caulking, paint, trim pieces, moisture barriers, and installation.
