Fiber cement otherwise known as Hardieplank is an extremely famous siding product in Michigan. It is a great alternative to Lp, Maisonite, or Weyehauser exterior building materials. This is to a great extent due to the durability of the product. It is one of the few ways to have the appearance of wood without the headaches that accompany the real thing. The steady rains in the Pacific Northwest demand that a siding item have a water-safe surface, and Hardieplank siding does. It also is resistant to bug infestations and fire, and goes on for 50 years or more. Hardieplank siding is actually produced from cellulose fiber, sand and like it's namesake, cement.
While fiber cement siding costs more than vinyl, it is still more affordable and lower maintenance than most different choices like cedar. Stucco for instance, is significantly more costly than Hardieplank siding yet doesn't last as long. In comparison to other costly siding choices, Hardieplank siding stands up quite well.
Putting up the material is basically the same in installation to vinyl and cedar siding and different sorts of outdoor coverings. It is installed into wall studs and has a weather barrier in between. The siding is fairly easy to work with yet can be challenging to cut at times because of dust and crumbling. This dust can be controlled by using specific tools to cut the siding.
