VINYL:
The least expensive, and the least appealing because of the thickness of the product, the seams are very noticeable. The fact that Vinyl has to be hung off the nails to be able to expand and contract, it is usually loose. Also Vinyl has to be cut 5/8”short in between windows to allow for the natural movement it does require. In these “open” areas, the rain, snow, and wind can enter and ruin a home.

CEMENT BOARD SIDING

     PULP FIBERS, SAND, PORTLAND CEMENT AND CLAY make up the mixture to create the
slurry to make this siding. It is put into a forming machine to create the siding panels.
     The wood texture is then pressed onto the panel and it goes to a pre-curing chamber. The panel
is then sealed with a fiber tech sealing system that protects the panel from moisture penetration,
bonds to the paint and reduces surface chalking.
     The panels can be pre-finished with 12 colors and 6 stains ready to install.

     After installing the panels with an 1/8th gap the butt edges are caulked with a 100% paintable acrylic caulk .
     The panels also come primed and can be painted with an acrylic latex paint.
     The siding is attached to the house with a air nailer using galvanized nails.
     The siding is available in 12 foot lengths and widths of 5 1/4" up to 9 1/2" . There is an
     overlap of 1 1/4" over the previous piece.
     All the corners, window trim, soffit and fascia are available in the same material.
     The product will not de-laminate, crack, blister or rot and has a 25 year warranty that covers labor and material.
     The siding weighs 230# per 100 sq. foot compared to steel at 90# per sq. foot.
