Truth be told, fiber cement is one of the fastest growing segments of exterior materials for homes. It is truly remarkable stuff, as it is ideal for almost every climate in the continental United States. The climate here in Colorado can be brutal to many types of siding, and the sheer toughness of fiber cement makes it almost the perfect material for siding your home. There are several unique features that set fiber cement apart from materials like vinyl and composite siding, the most dramatic being its composition. This siding consists of (generally) only four ingredients: water, wood pulp, fly ash and portland cement—think of it as concrete without the sand. The water, wood pulp and fly ash is mixed with the portland cement as a binding agent. The structural integrity is incredible and is far superior to wood and many other siding materials.
It is popular these days to attempt a DIY installation of many things around your home, but fiber cement siding is not easy for the average homeowner to tackle. The installation is quite complex due to the strength of the material and requires special tools in order to install. If you do decide that fiber cement siding is right for you, contact the experts at Airtight Exteriors for a consultation and estimate. Experience the ultimate in siding technology with fiber cement!
