Fiber Cement siding is an option that has been gaining in popularity over the last few decades. Vinyl siding has long been the most popular siding option in the country, but homeowners have been learning about the benefits that fiber cement siding can offer for homeowners who choose to install it on their homes. If you are interested in learning more about the benefits of fiber cement siding, keep reading!
Longevity
One of the greatest benefits of fiber cement siding is its longevity. Fiber Cement siding boasts a lifespan of 50 years or more, meaning that once you install fiber cement siding, you likely won’t need to reinstall it on your home. Its longevity is a major selling point for homeowners who don’t want to worry about replacing their home’s siding on multiple occasions.
Durability
Another major advantage of fiber cement siding is that it is extremely durable. Fiber Cement is resistant to just about anything Mother Nature can throw at it, from extreme weather, to pests and insects, to cracks, dents, warping, mildew, mold, rot, and any other issues that plague typical siding materials. Your fiber cement siding will hold up to anything it may be exposed to!
Customization
If you’ve been searching for a siding material that is highly customizable, fiber cement is a great option! Fiber Cement comes in a wide variety of colors and styles. It is often created to mimic other materials, with wood siding as a popular choice to imitate.
Cost
This advantage can be a bit misleading. While fiber cement is more expensive to install than vinyl siding, its longevity helps offset its expensive installation cost. Since Fiber Cement often lasts twice as long as the average vinyl siding, it is completely feasible that over the lifespan of your home, installing fiber cement will end up being the less expensive option long-term.
Environmental Impact
Another amazing benefit of fiber cement siding is its reduced environmental impact. While vinyl siding requires the use of fossil fuels to manufacture, fiber cement siding is made from more sustainable materials including wood fibers, cement, and sand, making it far more sustainable than the natural gas used in the production of vinyl siding.
