Fiber cement siding—also known as fiber cement cladding—is a composite material made of cement reinforced with cellulose fibers (replacing asbestos since the 1980s). It’s widely used for both residential and commercial exteriors.

Advantages:

  • Durable & low maintenance: Resistant to rot, warping, and pests like termites.
  • Fire-resistant: Non-combustible, used in high fire-risk areas.
  • Weather-resistant: Engineered to withstand climate extremes, including storms, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.
  • Install-friendly: Panels come in sizes that minimize waste and simplify installation, although cutting requires care due to silica dust risks.
  • Available in a variety of colors, textures, and profiles, vinyl siding allows for versatile design options to match any architectural style. Its lightweight construction ensures quick and easy installation, providing a high-performance, long-lasting solution for both renovations and new builds.
