Your home's siding can improve your property's aesthetics and protect your home's exterior against damage. While wood and vinyl siding may work well, consider fiber cement siding installation and stand to gain these benefits.

Damage Resistant

House siding is susceptible to weather damage. For instance, strong winds may blow the siding away, while excess moisture from heavy downpours may cause the rotting of wood siding. Additionally, wood siding can be infested by pests such as termites, damaging wood siding by boring tunnels, which weakens the siding. Fortunately, fiber cement siding contains a mixture of cement, sand, water, and cellulose fiber that improve the siding's strength. Hence, the siding won't warp, rot, corrode, or give into insect damage easily. Overall, fiber cement siding is more damage resistant and can last for years.

Easy Installation

You can access different shapes and installation styles of fiber cement siding. For instance, you can purchase the siding as shingles or panels to install as they are. Alternatively, you can buy siding boards that you can cut and shape to achieve an authentic siding design. However, consider hiring a professional fiber cement siding contractor to perform the installation. The professionals will probably install your fiber cement siding quickly, since they have the ideal equipment and skills, reducing installation costs significantly. 

Low Maintenance

Since fiber cement siding is resistant to physical and weather damage, it requires low maintenance. For instance, frequent cleaning of the siding may be necessary to eliminate any debris or molds that may cause damage to your siding. Likewise, you may only need to perform a few repairs during the siding's life cycle. Moreover, you may only need to replace your siding after it reaches the end of its lifespan. This lowers the siding's maintenance and replacement costs significantly.

Fire-Resistant

A fire outbreak in your home can cause property damage, resulting in losses. Also, severe fires may cause burns on victims, which may require costly treatment. Fortunately, fiber cement siding is fire-resistant. So, if a fire occurs in your home, it won't spread quickly on the siding. This protects your home's exterior against damage.

Versatile

Fiber cement siding comes in different styles, colors, and textures to suit your exterior. Additionally, the siding mimics wood siding giving your home a more natural appearance. Moreover, the siding is available in various colors to match your home's color theme. Besides, if you outgrow the original siding color, you can repaint the siding to give your siding a brighter look.

Fiber cement siding is easy to install, versatile, low maintenance, and fire resistant. Consider installing fiber cement siding to enjoy these benefits.
