Most siding replacement companies ask their customers to schedule an installation during days when the weather is dry and clear. This is because a lot of weatherstripping, seals and caulking methods are prone to moisture problems and may not set properly when exposed to high levels of humidity. A prime example of this is foam-insulated siding. While they are an excellent choice in keeping your home more energy-efficient, the foam itself can be compromised if it gets soaked before being installed.
One type of siding, however, that is resistant to moisture even during its installation is fiber cement. At Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing, our professionals are experienced in handling the many fiber cement siding products of James Hardie®. Here is a quick rundown of this versatile and durable material.
Siding companies have long praised the intrinsic strength and beauty of fiber cement. Its name is actually an accurate description of what this material is made of: fiber and cement. James Hardie uses high quality reclaimed cellulose fibers and Portland cement binder in all their HardiePlank® lines. This gives it its signature durability that can withstand almost any type of abuse.
Fiber cement offers good enough performance ideal for milder climates like those in Central Texas. This combined with its natural resistance to fire, moisture, rot, termites, and even woodpeckers make it a great sustainable siding product.
The amount of maintenance your fiber cement siding will need depends on how well siding installers did their jobs, as well as the demands of your current location. For the most part, no other siding material actually matches the extremely low maintenance requirements of a James Hardie fiber cement siding.
