SIDING: SIDING USING OTHER SYNTHETIC MATERIALS |
In addition to the standard four siding options, there are more
synthetic options like Stucco, Fiber Cement, and Engineered Wood
that might also fit your needs.
Stucco Siding:
Offers a very distinctive looks. It is made from materials similar
to plaster, providing a rugged option without the high cost of
a stone or brick Façade. Maintenance is very low and it
can be finished in many different ways to accommodate the personal
taste of any homeowner.
Fiber Cement Siding:
Is less expensive than wood and brick and can be made to resemble
stucco or even natural wood. Its fire resistant properties and
low maintenance requirements make it a viable option for the homeowner
who wants to eschew the downsides of metal without sacrificing
safety. Products like Hardiplank, Hardshingle, Hardipanel, and
Harditrim have been garnering much acclaim in the construction
market place. Fiber cement was created to bridge the gap between
the wood’s beauty and vinyl’s low maintenance and
price.
Engineered Wood Siding:
Is made from a mixture of wood products and synthetic materials.
Products like OSB boards and veneered plywood offer the look of
traditional wood but provide more uniformity because there are
no imperfections in grain and texture. However, maintenance is
greater with engineered wood than with fiber cement or stucco
options.
