About Vinyl Siding
Vinyl
siding has come a long way over the years; from simply being more convenient
to maintain than other siding options to achieving virtually any look desired
by the consumer. Today, vinyl siding manufacturers are providing siding and accessories
to meet the growing demands of the consumer. Traditional lap siding is available
in almost any profile and can even be purchased with a foam backer that is laminated
to the back of the panel to help resist damage, deaden sound and provide additional
insulation. Vinyl shakes, scallops, board & batten and beaded porch ceiling
are also now available. Accessories are another area where vinyl has broadened
its market; trim, pediments, moldings and railings are available in a wide variety
of styles.
There are also numerous grades of vinyl siding available to fit any budget. Many
manufacturers are offering lifetime warranties on their products. Click on any

and warranties.

About Fiber Cement
Fiber cement siding is another durable, low-maintenance siding alternative that
provides the beauty of wood without many of 
the
hassles associated with wood siding. Fiber cement products are also fire resistant
and most of the products offer a limited transferable warranty for up to 50 years.
Although relatively new to the market, it is becoming a popular product in commercial
and residential applications. It is installed in the same manner as wood siding
and is more expensive than vinyl due to material and labor costs associated with
the installation.
Like vinyl, fiber cement is available in numerous profiles including lap, shake,
scallops and panels. Soffit, fascia, frieze and ceilings can also be done in
fiber cement. Fiber cement is available primed, or prefinished (pre-painted).
The pre-finished products do offer a warranty on the finish. Go to www.jameshardie.com for

additional information on CertainTeed WeatherBoards fiber cement products.
