For those who like the looks of wood siding and the low-maintenance qualities of man-made siding products, HardiPlank Siding (Fiber Cement Siding) can be a wise choice. This type of siding generally is more expensive than aluminum or vinyl siding, but costs less than brick or traditional cedar siding.
One of the big benefits over traditional wood siding is its resistance to damage from extended exposure to humidity, rain, snow, salt air and termites and under normal conditions, it will not crack, rot or delaminate. HardiePlank offers the durability and performance of concrete without sacrificing the natural beauty look of wood. While low-maintenance, new HardiPlank Siding does need to be primed and painted after installation by an experienced crew.
