La description
You've probably seen
fiber cement board or siding and didn't even recognize it. The
material, which can be made to resemble wood grain or even stucco,
has been around for **0 years. It has received a bad rap because it
contained asbestos fibers in the past. Now fiber cement board
contains cellulose fibers, along with Portland cement and sand.
One of the most desirable qualities of fiber cement board is that
it is so durable. Unlike wood siding, fiber board siding doesn't
rot or require frequent repainting. It is fire-proof, insect
resistant, and performs well in natural disasters.
Â
Impressively, some manufacturers
offer warranties that last for up to *0 years, a testament to the
material's longevity. Aside from being low-maintenance, fiber
cement board is also energy efficient and contributes to insulating
your home.
Â
Fiber cement board is available in
plank format that is similar in dimension to vinyl siding, ranging
in profiles from 4 to *1 inches. Fiber cement siding is also
finished with a variety of textures. Wood grain patterns mimic
traditional wood siding, while smooth planks or stucco textures
look clean and modern. Fiber cement board is also made into sheets,
which can be installed as an insulating underlayment for
tile.

Drawbacks of Fiber Cement
Board
Fiber cement board is a heavy
material, so it often takes two people to carry a sheet. It must be
handled carefully, as it tends to be brittle and can chip or crack.
Though fiber cement board can be cut with a saw, the dust is toxic
to breathe, so installers must wear masks.

Tips for
Selecting Fiber Cement Board
Choose
fiber cement products that contain a large percentage of wood fiber
from post-consumer or industrial waste. Also look for products that
incorporate fly ash, which is more eco-friendly than Portland
cement. Always choose low VOC paints, primers and other sealants
for use with your fiber cement siding.
Â
So is
fiber cement board really green? It's not the most eco-friendly
building material on the market, but it is definitely proves a
greener alternative to vinyl siding.
