Can Fiber Cement Siding Last in a Big Storm?

Choosing a material for the siding of your home is not so easy, considering the many different options available on the market. Siding should be beautiful, durable and require minimal maintenance. And also inexpensive quality material that can be installed by TSV Construction and Roofing specialist!

It is not exactly realistic to try to meet all the requirements at the same time, but if you miss the "cheap" thing and replace it with "affordable", you can consider fiber cement siding.

Unlike wood siding, this siding option will not rot or deform over time, due to moisture or sun exposure. While aluminum siding is prone to impact damage, fiber cement will not get scratches or dents. It offers a high level of resistance to fire and insects and is strong enough to withstand bad weather in general. Fiber cement siding is known for its durability, which gives it a long estimated service life.

The density of the material is 1.5 kg/cm3 which indicates the resistance to mechanical stress. Its bending resistance characteristics of 24 MPa is precisely what makes it resistant to strong wind gusts.

The correctly installed fibrocement siding will prevent damage from rain and wind in high-risk environments. This product can withstand even winds with the force of a hurricane, which is a definite benefit if you live along the east coast of the United States.
