Richmond Va Siding - Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber Cement Siding for Your Richmond Home

For almost 100 years fiber cement has been used. Similar to engineered wood siding, this material offers several advantages compared to natural wood. In the past, it was made with added asbestos, but today, modern fiber cement is made out of a mixture that includes sand, wood fiber materials, cellulose, Portland cement, and an array of other materials. It can be formed into several different patterns, have an embossed or smooth face, or be textured in a way that it mimics real cedar. A special curing process will be used on the siding to ensure the final product has a very low-moisture content. This makes it resistant to warping and helps ensure it is conducive to the application of paint.
The biggest selling point of fiber cement siding is how durable it is. It can stand up to harsh weather conditions, insects, and even rot. Most companies offering fiber cement siding also offer generous warranties due to the durability and strength of this material. Fiber cement is a fire-resistant product, which makes it a great option for any home that is situated in a wildfire region. The installation process is similar to real wood, and it is available in the same widths and lengths as real wood.
