Benefits of Fiber Cement Siding
- It’s fire resistant. Registered as a non-combustible material, fiber cement siding has the best possible flame spread rating. Unlike wood and vinyl siding, fiber cement will not burn or melt in a fire.

In fact, according to a cost vs. value report by Remodeling magazine, installing fiber cement siding can get you a higher return on your investment than any other remodeling project! Fiber cement siding installation came in first place on this report for eight years in a row.

- It will not rot or warp. The manufacturers believe so strongly in the durability of this product that they give it a 30-year warranty!
- It’s low-maintenance. Rinsing it with a hose every couple of years is recommended, but that could be the only upkeep your fiber cement siding needs! If you choose a color finish, that finish will be warrantied for 15 years, after which it may need repainting.
- It’s resistant to termites and other insects. Since fiber cement is 90% sand and cement, insects have no desire to eat it!
- It’s time-tested. Having been around for over 100 years, fiber cement siding has been researched and studied and improved, and researched and studied and improved.
