Fiber Cement Siding - Pros/Cons

[trevier]

lots of dust. I had to clean my slide saw 4-5 times a day even though it was hooked up to a fein vacuum. Windows cuts I use an angle grinder with a masonary blade. Read up on the install instructions, they have changed over the years. Also stay away from hardi plank and go with certain teed fiber cement. My lumber yard stopped dealing with hardi plank due to warranty issues. Go pre-primed finger joint cedar, prime all you end cuts and use a super good paint and it will look just as good for half the cost and aggravation.

Make sure you read application how to....can lose warranty if applied wrong....make sure U make all joints water tight with water proof adhesive.

Go on line to the manufacturer "How To.".....U would be surprised how many contractors do not know how to install......companies R making contractor installers be certified ....same as they did for Corian.....to many screw ups.....
