Fiber cement is a composite material made of sand, cement and cellulose fibers. Fiber cement products came about as a replacement for the widely used "Asbestos Cement Sheeting" product manufactured by James Hardie until the late 1980s.
In appearance fiber cement cladding most often consists of overlapping horizontal boards, imitating wooden cladding, clapboard and imitation shingles. Fiber cement siding is also manufactured in a sheet form and is used not only as cladding but is also commonly used as a soffit / eave lining and as a tile underlay on decks and in bathrooms.
Fiber cement siding gives you a beautiful home that is also safe from environmental and accidental wear and tear, and comes in a variety of ColorPlus® prefinished colors. Ffiber cement siding is designed to last a lifetime, resisting cracking, rotting, hail damage, termites and many other possible problems. |
