What is Fiber Cement Siding?

Fiber cement siding material was introduced to the market in the 1980’s as an innovative replacement for products that used the dangerous asbestos ingredient in their siding manufacturing process. Modern fiber cement siding is a composite material made from cement, sand, cellulose fibers, and water.
This unique combination creates a robust, versatile siding product that mimics the look of natural wood, stucco, or stone, while offering significantly greater durability and resistance to the elements.
Engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, fiber cement siding is an ideal choice for home exteriors and businesses seeking a stylish, yet long-lasting exterior solution.

What are the benefits of fiber cement siding?
Fiber cement siding offers many advantages, making it a popular choice for homeowners seeking a reliable and attractive exterior solution.
Here are some of the key benefits that offer you peace of mind with your new siding solution:
Durability
Fiber cement siding is built to last, withstanding common issues like cracking, rotting, and warping. It provides long-lasting protection, energy efficiency, and exceptional durability, ensuring that your home remains safe and secure for years to come.
Weather Resistance
No matter the climate, fiber cement siding excels in the enduring harsh weather conditions experienced in the Midwest. From torrential rains and high winds during tornado season, to triple-digit heat in the summer time, to heavy snowfall and ice storms in the winter, it remains strong and intact, providing dependable performance in every season.
Fire Resistance
One of the most appealing features of fiber cement siding is its non-combustible nature. This adds an extra layer of safety to your home and offers assurances for your family, particularly in areas prone to wildfires.
Defense Against Termites
The area’s climate, rivers, and clay-heavy soil conditions create favorable environments for termite activity, particularly in parts of St. Louis County, St. Charles County, and Metro East. Unlike with engineered and natural wood siding, you don’t need to worry about termites with fiber cement siding.
Aesthetic Appeal
With a broad selection of styles, colors, and textures, fiber cement siding allows you to create a beautiful exterior that complements your home’s architecture and your personal style. It provides a timeless look that stays vibrant and fresh for years.
Low Maintenance
Say goodbye to annual painting, sealing, or intensive upkeep. Fiber cement siding is designed to require minimal maintenance, reducing the time and effort required to keep your home looking its best.
Longevity
Thanks to its robust composition and resistance to wear, fiber cement siding can last for decades in the Midwest with proper care. This makes it a smart investment, offering both immediate and long-term value for homeowners in Missouri and Illinois.
