First developed in Australia and then reformulated it has now become the #1 siding choice for residential homeowners nationwide. The advantages of having essentially an 100% masonry exterior is appealing for most. With a warm look and feel, just like real wood, it’s hard to find a better choice. Because it is comprised of cellulose fiber and concrete, it is much more stable then other conventional replacement home siding products like wood or vinyl. Being so stable means paint will be less likely to break down since the cause of most paint failure is due to continuance expansion- contraction. Fiber cement siding is also impervious to moisture penetration. It’s very durable and is resistant to insect damage. Although there many company’s that manufacture fiber cement products, James Hardie is by far the leader in proving high quality home siding, trim and soffit replacement products and is the manufacture of choice by Alamo Exteriors.
