I was actually being a bit sarcastic as I don’t like mixing materials although I’m sure it looks great and will be much lower maintenance.
Most of the clapboard on my house is about 163 years old and still tough as nails. I just had some wood gutters removed and the fascia replaced with clear red cedar. That stuff was expensive.
