Fiber Cement Siding Exhibits Strength and Durability?

Although vinyl siding is still preferred by many homeowners, fiber cement siding is starting to gain a foothold in the American market. Higher quality fiber cement products have excellent impact resistance and are not prone to warping as are most vinyl products. Fiber cement siding is also impervious to rot and resists infestation to termites and other insects. Because it closely resembles wood, this product is also a low maintenance alternative for homeowners who want to replace cedar or other types of wooden siding. It is also water-resistant, non-cobustible and stronger than most other types of siding.
