A Quality, Durable Option That Will Last for Years

For Denver homeowners who want the look of wood but don’t want the hassles and costs associated with it, fiber cement siding may be just what you’re looking for. Several manufacturers produce fiber cement siding in a variety of textures that provide the appearance of fine wood. Cement fiber comes very close in appearance to the beauty of natural wood grain, and sometimes it can be difficult to tell fiber cement siding apart from wood siding at all.

However, fiber cement siding is more durable than wood. It’s termite-resistant, water-resistant, non-combustible and warranted by some manufacturers to last 50 years. Fiber cement siding is resistant to rot, fungus and pest infestations. It has excellent weathering characteristics, strength and impact resistance.

Fiber cement siding is composed of cement, sand and cellulose fiber and is pressure-treated to increase its strength and dimensional stability. Fiber is added as reinforcement to prevent cracking. James Hardie Building Products has been a leader in fiber cement siding and offers a wide variety of sidings, from boards that resemble wood to panels that look like stucco. All are available with factory applied paint in a broad range of designer colors.

Re-siding can be a good investment. New siding materials, methods and technologies such as fiber cement siding, in conjunction with insulation under new siding and well designed ventilation, can substantially lower your heating and cooling costs and make your home more comfortable. According to the 2009 “Cost vs. Value Report,” conducted by Remodeling magazine, re-siding with fiber cement siding has the highest return on investment for remodeling projects costing more than $1,200. In fact, fiber cement siding has had the highest ROI for each of the past five years.
