Known for its longevity, fiber cement siding offers exceptional weather performance and beauty. In fact, according to Remodeling Magazine, it can provide you the best return on investment compared to other projects.
As your trusted siding contractor, Universal Roofing and Exteriors recommends this innovative material for any siding need. Here are answers to some of its frequently asked questions:
What’s In Fiber Cement?
Fiber consists of four ingredients: wood pulp, fly ash, Portland cement, and water. Wood pulp enhances flexibility and resilience. Meanwhile, the fly ash serves as a filler, though other manufacturers use silica sand as an alternative. The Portland cement, made with limestone, clay, and iron, binds the ingredients together. This results in a highly durable material that resists extreme conditions, making it the best low-maintenance option for siding.
What Can I Expect From Its Performance?
Unlike wood, fiber cement resists moisture and mold growth. This non-combustible material also withstands warping, sagging, and melting, and other weather damage. It will maintain its best shape through the seasons with minimal upkeep. It usually lasts up to 25 years.
