There’s been a lot of talk about green living and green building when it comes to modern-day homes. From re-using lumber like support beams, to recycling tiles from older homes that have been demolished, there are a hundred ways to build less expensive homes that leave a smaller impact on the environment. One of those ways is growing in popularity, and even homeowners who don’t list going green as a top priority are adopting this building siding material.
So what is this green building siding material taking homeowners by storm? Fiber cement siding.

What’s So Special About Fiber Cement Siding?

The short answer is that fiber cement siding offers your home all of the benefits other types of cladding can provide, but with none of the drawbacks. Fiber cement siding can be as attractive as wood, as tough as aluminum, and as recyclable as vinyl. Additionally, fiber cement siding won’t rot or attract insects like wood, it’s thicker and more attractive than aluminum, and it doesn’t have the potential to release harmful gases like vinyl does.
Fiber cement siding is made from sand, cellulose (plant) fibers, and cement. It can be pressed into any shape and dyed any color, so there’s never a need to paint your cement siding. When you cut the siding to fit your home the smaller pieces can be recycled and made into new siding, and once it’s installed fiber cement siding lasts for years with no visible wear or tear. It can take rain and snow, sleet, sun, and anything else the great outdoors throws at your home while keeping you safe and snug inside.
That’s what makes fiber cement siding special.
