Have you checked your home's siding recently?

The siding on your home is important. It is important since it protects you and your family, not just your home.

One of the biggest factors to consider about fiber cement siding is that it is more durable than vinyl siding and requires less upkeep and care than wood. You will not have to maintain it like wood siding; just spray it with a hose as needed throughout the year to keep it clean and looking nice. It is able to withstand extremely cold temperatures, as well as winds that gust up to 130 mph or more. Even when the temperatures fluctuate, the siding stands up to the challenge. It will not melt in the heat, or let the heat in through the walls.

Fiber cement siding is recyclable, which makes it a top pick for those that are going green. It is made from organic building materials that are able to reduce the waste that is found in land fills. The materials that fiber cement siding is made from will also not leak chemicals into the ozone when heated. Fiber cement siding is also much more sustainable compared to vinyl siding. The siding is made with far less energy than the other leading siding choices. You can improve your energy efficiency within the home, as well.
