The Advantages of Cement Siding?
Cement siding isn't as strange as it sounds. This siding is made of Portland cement that's been mixed with fiberglass and has come to replace asbestos shingles, which were fine when they were intact but hazardous when they began to chip or crack. Cement shingles are fairly inexpensive to buy, but moderately difficult to install. The homeowner will need to wear protective goggles, gloves and a spray paint filter mask to work with them safely. Once installed, cement shingles are fire resistant and usually only need to be washed. If they chalk up, the chalk can be removed by scrubbing with water and detergent.
