What Is Fiber-Cement Siding?
Man-made from a composite of cellulose fibers, sand, and cement, fiber-cement siding is constructed by the pressing together of those components to form various styles of planks and shingles. The result is a remarkably durable siding product that outlasts most of the competition by decades. You can choose from numerous colors and styles of siding, including designs that resemble wood clapboards, cedar shingles, and stucco.
